ANDREWS' SERIES ©F LATIN SCHOOL BOORS. 

PUBLISHED BY CROCKER & BREWSTER, 

47 "WASHINGTON STREET, BOSTON. 



The Latin School Books pre^red by Prof. E. A. Andrews, exclusive of his 
Latin-English Lexicon, foundea on the Latin-German Lexicon of Dr. Freund, 
constitute two distinct series, adapted to different and distinct purposes. The 
basis of the First Series is Andrews* First Latin Book ; of the Second, An- 
drews and Stoddard's Latin Gramiiiar. 

FIRST SERIES. 

This Series is designed expressly for those who commence the study of 
Latin at a very early age, and for such as intend to pursue it to a limited ex- 
tent only, or merely as subsidiary to the acquisition of a good English educa- 
tion. It consists of the following works, viz. : — 

1. Andrews' First Latin Book; or Progressive Les- 
sons in Reading and Writing Latin. This small volume contains most of the 
leading principles and grammatical forms of the Latin language, and, by the 
logical precision of its rules and definitions, is admirably fitted to serve as an 
introduction to the study of general grammar. The work is divided into les- 
sons of convenient length, which are so arranged that the student will, in al) 
cases, be prepared to enter upon the study of each successive lesson, by pos- 
sessing a thorough knowledge of those which preceded it. The lessons gen- 
erally consist of three parts : — 1st. The statement of important principles in 
the form of rules or definitions, or the exhibition of orthographical or etymo- 
logical forms ; 2d. Exercises, designed to illustrate such principles or forms ; 
and 3d. Questions, intended to assist the student in preparing his lesson. In 
addition to the grammatical lessons contained in this volume, a few pages of 
Reading Lessons are annexed, and these are followed by a Dictionary com- 
prising all the Latin words contained in the work. This book is adapted to 
the use of all schools above the grade of primary schools, including also 
Academies and Female Seminaries. It is prepared in such a manner that it 
can be used with little difficulty by any intelligent parent or teacher, with no 
previous knowledge of the language. 

2. The Latin Reader, with a Dictionary and Notes, 
containing explanations of difficult idioms, and numerous references to the 
Lessons contained in the First Latin Book. 

3. The Viri Romae, with a Dictionary and Notes, re- 
ferring, like those of the Reader, to the First Latin Book. This series of 
three small volumes, if faithfully studied according to the directions contained 
in them, will not only render the student a very tolerable proficient in the 
principles of the Latin language and in the knowledge of its roots, from 
which so many words of the English language are derived, but will constitute 
the best preparation for a thorough study of English grammar. 

SECOI^^D SERIES. 

This Series is designed more especially /or those who are intending to be- 
come thoroughly acquainted with the Latin language, and with the principal 
classical authors of that language. It consists of the following works: — 

1. Latin Lessons. This small volume is designed for 

the younger classes of Latin students, Avho intend ultimately to take up the 
larger Grammar, but to whom that work would, at first, appear too formida- 
ble. It contains the prominent principles of Latin grammar, expressed in 
the same language as in the larger Grammar, and likewise Reading and 
Writing Lessons, with a Dictionary of the Latin words and phrases occurring 
in the Lessons. 



New Series of Latin School Boolis. 

2. Latin Grammar. A Grammar of the Latin Lan- 
guage, for the use of Schools and Colleges. By Professors E. A. Axdke^vs 
and S. Stoddakd. This work, which for many years has been the text-book 
in the department of Latin Grammar in a large portion of American schools 
and colleges, and which claims the merit of having first introduced into thf3 
schools of this country the subject of grammatical analysis, which now occu- 
pies a conspicuous place in so many grammars of the English language, has 
been recently revised and carefully corrected in every part. 

3. Questions on the Grammar. This little volume 

is intended to aid the student in preparing his lessons, and the teacher in 
conducting his recitations. 

4. A Synopsis of Latin Grammar, comprising the 

Latin Paradigms, and the Principal Rules of Latin Etymology and Syntax. 
The few pages composing this work contain those portions of the Grammar 
to which the student has occasion to refer most frequently in the preparation 
of his daily lessons. 

5. Latin Reader. The Reader, by means of two sepa- 
rate and distinct sets of notes, is equally adapted for use in connection either 
with the First Latin Book or the Latin Grammar. 

6. Viri Romae. This volume, like the Reader, is fur- 
nished with notes and references, both to the First Latin Book and to the 
Latin Grammar. The principal difference in the two sets of notes found in 
each of these volumes consists in the somewhat greater fulness of those 
which belong to the smaller series. 

7. Latin Exercises. This work contains exercises in 

every department of the Latin Grammar, and is so arranged that it may be 
studied in connection with the Grammar through every stage of the prepara- 
tory course. It is designed to prepare the way for original composition in the 
Latin language, both in prose and verse. 

8. A Key to Latin Exercises. This Key, in which 

all the exercises in the preceding volume are fully corrected, is intended for 
the use of teachers only. 

9. Caesar's Commentaries on the' Gallic War, with a 

Dictionary and N^jites. The text of this edition of Ctesar has been formed by 
reference to the best German editions. The Notes are principally grammati- 
cal. The Dictionary, which, like all the others in the series, was prepared 
with great labor, contains the usual significations of the words, together with 
an explanation of all such phrases as might otherwise perplex the student. 

10. Sallust. Sallust's Jugurthine War and Conspiracy of 
Catiline, with a Dictionary and Notes. The text of this work, which was 
based upon that of Cortius, has been modified by reference to the best modern 
editions, especially -by those of Kritz and Geriach ; and its orthography is, in 
general, conformed to that of Pottier and Blanche. The Dictionaries of 
Cassar and Sallust connected with this series are original works, and, in con 
nection with the Notes in each volujne, furnish a very complete and satisfac 
tory apparatus for the study of these two authors. 

11. Ovid. Selections frdm the Metamorphoses and Hero 
ides of Ovid, with Notes, Grammatical References, and Exercises in Scanning 
These selections from Ovid are designed as an introduction to Latin poetry 
They are accompanied with numerous brief notes explanatory of difficult 
phrases, of obscure historical or mythological allusions, and especially of 
grammatical difficulties. To these arc added such Exercises in Scanning as 
serve fully to introduce the student t6 a knowledge of Latin prosody, and 
esi^ecially of the structure and laws of hexameter and pentameter verse. 



New Series of Latin School Books. 

Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar has long since been intro- 
duced into the Latin School of the City of Boston, and into most 
of the other principal Classical Schools in this country. It is adopted by 
all the Colleges in New England, viz., Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, 
Amherst, Williams, Bowdoin, Waterville, Middlebury, Burling- 
ton, Brown University at Providence, Wesleyan University at Mid- 
dletovvn,and Washington College at Hartford; also at Hamilton Col- 
lege, New York, New York University, city of New York, Cincinnati 
College and Marietta College, Ohio, Randolph Macon College, 
Virginia, Mount Hope College, near Baltimore, Maryland Institute 
OF Lnstruction and St. Mary's College, Baltimore, and the Univer- 
sities OF Michigan and Alabama; and has been highly recommended 
by Professors Kingsley, Woolsey, Olmstead, and Gibbs, of Yale College; 
Professor Beck, of Harvard College ; President Penney and Professor North, 
of Hamilton College ; Professor Packard, of Bowdoin College ; Professor 
Holland, of Washington College ; Professor Fisk, of Amherst College, and 
by Professor Hackett, of Brown University; — also by Messrs. Dillaway 
and Gardner, of the Boston Latin School ; Rev. Lyman Colman, of the 
English High School, Andover; Hon, John Hall, Principal of the Elling- 
ton School, Conn. ; Mr. Shaler, Principal of the Connecticut Literary 
Institution, at Suffield ; Simeon Hart, Esq., Farmington, Conn. ; Pro- 
fessor Cogswell, of Round Hill School, Northampton; President Shan 
non, of Louisiana College, and by various periodicals. 

As a specimen of the communications received from the above sources, 
the following extracts are given : — 

it gives me great pleasure to bear raj testnnony to the superiormerits of the 
Latin GBainrnar lately edited by Professor Andrews and Mr. Stoddard. I express 
most cheerfully, luihesitatingly, and decidedly, my preference of this Graninia.r 
to that of Adam, which has, for so long a time, kept almost undisputed sway 
in our schools. — Dr. C Beck, Professor of Latin iii Harvard Unweraity. 

1 know of no grammar published m tUis country, which promises to answer so 
well the purposes of elementary classieal instruction, and shall be glad to see it 
introduced into our best schools. — Mr. Charles K. Dillaway, Master of ike 
Public Latin School, Po-ston. 

Your new Latin Cirammar appears to me much better suited to the use of 
students than any other grammar I am acquainted with. — Professor VVilhum 
M. Holland, Washington College, Hartford, Conn. 

I can With much pleasure say tliat your Grammar seems to me much better 
adapted to the present condition and wants of our schools than any one with which 
I am ac(|uainted, and to supply that which has long been wanted — a good Latin 
grammar for common use. — Mr. F. Gardner, one of the Masters Boston Lat. Sch. 

'J'he Latin Grammar of Andrews and Stoddard is deserving, in my opinion, of 
th^ approbation which so many of our ablest teachers have bestowed upon it. 
It is believed that, of all the grammars at present before the public, this h;is 
greatly tlie advantage, in regard both to the excellence of its arrangement, and 
the accuracy and copiousness of its information ; and it is earnestly hoped that 
its merits will procure for it that general favor and use to which it is entitled. 
— //. B. Hackett, Professor of Biblical Literature in Newt07i T/ieoL Sem, 

The universal favor with which this Grammar is received was not unexpected. 
j^ will bear a thorough and discriminating examination. In the use of well- 
oefined and expressive terms, especially in the syntax, we know of no Latin oi 
Greek grammar which is to be compared to this. — Amer. Quarterly Register. 

The Latin Grammar of Andrews and Stoddard I consider a woik of great 
merit. I have found in it several principles of the Latin language correctly ex- 

Eiained which I had myself learned from a twenty years' study of that language, 
at had never seen illustrated in anv jpranimar. Andrewi's First Lessons I coo 



New Series of Latin School Books. 

sider a valuable work for beginners, and in the sphere which it is designed to 
occupy, I know not that 1 have met its equal. — Rev. James Shannon, President 
of College of Louisiana. 

These works will furnish a series of elementary publications for the study of 
Latin altogether in advance of any thing which has hitherto appeand, either in 
this country or in England. — American Biblical Repository. 

We have made Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar the subject both of 
reference and recitation daily for several months, and I cheerfully and < ecidedly 
bear testimony to its superior excellence to any manual of the kind with which 
I am acquainted. Every part bears the impress of a careful compiler. The 
principles of syntax are happily developed in the rules, whilst those relating to 
the moods and tenses supply an important deficiency in our former grammars. 
The rules of prosody are also clearly and fully exhibited. — Rev. Lyman Cole- 
man, Principal of Burr Seminary, Manchester, Vt. 

I have examined Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar, and regard it as 
superior to any thing of the kind now in use. It is what has long been needed, 
and will undoubtedly be welcomed by every one interested in the philology of 
the Latin language. We shall hereafter use it as a text-book in this institution 
— Mr. Wm. H. Shaler, Principal of the Connecticut Lit. Institution at Suffifld. 

This work bears evident marks of great care and skill, and ripe and accurate 
scholarship in the authors. It excels most grammars in this particular, that, 
while by its plainness it is suited to the necessities of most beginners, by its 
fulness and detail it will satisfy the inquiries of the advanced scholar, and will 
be a suitable companion at all stages of his progress. We cordially commend 
't to the student and teacher. — Biblical Repository. 

Your Grammar is what T expected it would be — an excellent book, and just the 
thing which was needed. VVe cannot hesitate a moment in laying aside the 
books now in use, and introducing this. — Rev. J. Penney, D. D., President of 
Hamdion College, New York. 

Your Grammar bears throughout evidence of original and thorough investiga- 
tion and sound criticism. I hope, and doubt not, it will be adopted in our schools 
and colleges, it being, in my apprehension, so far as simplicity is concerned, on 
the one hand, and philosophical views and sound scholarship on the other, far 
preferable to other grammars ; a work at the same time highly creditable to your- 
selves and to our country. — Professor A. Packard, Bowdoin College, Maine. 

This Grammar appears to me to be accommodated alike to the wants of the 
new beginner and the experienced scholar, and, as such, well fitted to supply 
what has long been felt to be a great desideratum in the department of classical 
learning. — Professor S. North, Hamilton College, New York. 

From such an examination of this Grammar as I have been able to give it, 1 
do not hesitate to pronounce it superior to any other with which I am acquainted. 
I have never seen, any where, a greater amount of valuable matter compressed 
within limits equally narrow. — Hon. John Hall, Prin. of Ellington School, Conn. 

We have no hesitation in pronouncing this Grammar decidedly superior to 
any now in use. — Boston Recorder. 

I am ready to express my great satisfaction with your Grammar, and do not 
hesitate to say, that 1 am better pleased with such portions of the syntax as 1 
have pertised, than with the corresponding portions in any other grammar witl- 
which 1 am acquainted. — Professor N. \V. Fiske, Amherst College, Mass. 

1 know of no grammar in the Latin language so well adapted to answer thfl 
purpose for which it was designed as this. The book of Questions is a valuable 
attendant of the Grammar. — Simeon Hart, F.sq., Farmingion, Conn. 

This (Trammar has received the labor of years, and is the result of much re 
flection and experience, and mature scholarship. As such, it claims the atten 
tion of all who are interested in the promotion of sound learning. — A'. 1'. ()hs>. 

This (iranmiar is an original work. Its arrangement is philosophical, and it* 
rules clear and precise, beyond those of any other grammar we liave seen -

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. 



The first edition of Sallust by the present editor having been favorably 
received by the public, no alteration in its plan has been thought necessary 
In preparing a second edition, however, every part has been carefully 
revised. 

The text, in the former edition of the Jugurthine War was based upon that 
of Cortius. It was not until nearly the whole of that portion of the work was 
printed off, that the editor was able to obtain the highly valuable editions, 
which, within a few years past, have issued from the German press. Of these 
such use was made in the remainder of the work, as the brief time allowed for 
thifc purpose would permit. 

The text of Cortius was distinguished from those previously in common use 
by frequent ellipses, especially of particles, pronouns, and the substantive vert 
These ellipses gave to the author's style an appearance of peculiar harshness; 
and rende"''ed the connexion at times obscure and difficult. Besides other 
valuable improvements in the text of this author, the German editors, after the 
most careful collation of manuscripts and early editions have in many instances 
restored the words omitted by Cortius. 

The text adopted in both parts of the present edition is, in general, that of 
Kritz, but modified by reference to the editions of Planche, Burnouf, Gerlach, 
Herzog and the Bipont editors. The alterations made in this edition will, it is 
believed, commend themselves to all, who shall examine them with care, 
as serving to remove many of the difficulties found in the common 
editions. 

The orthography of the first edition, which, with few exceptions, was that 
ad')pted by the Bipont editors and by Planche, has been retained. 

The following extracts from the preface to the first edition will sufficiently 
exx'lain its general plan. 

" in .irranging the two treatises of Sallust constituting the text of this work, 
the firit pirice has been assigned to the War against Jugurtha. Such an 
arrangement seemed to be expedient in a work intended for the use of students 
not previously familiar with Roman history; inasmuch as the History of 
Catiline's Conspiracy, which occurred many years after the war against Jugur- 
tha, contains numerous aHaoions to persons engaged in that war, and to politi- 
cal events connected with it.

PREFACE. 

As some of the most prominent difficulties in Latin syntax arist from the use 
of the oratio obliqua, the occurrence of this construction has generally been 
denoted by means of single inverted commas, while direct quotations are distin 
guished by the usual marks. 

To the preparation of the accompanying Dictionary, much time and labor 
have been devoted. The design has been to unite, so far as a due regard to 
"brevity would permit, the advantages of a Lexicon Sallustianum with those of 
a general dictionary." To this end the common significations of each word 
are given, whether occurring in Sallust or not, but in noting the constructions of 
words, those only are mentioned, which are found in this author. " The plan 
of the work did not permit the introduction of extended discussions relating to 
points of history or biography, customs or laws. For minute information on 
these and kindred subjects, it was thought better to refer the student to his 
Classical Dictionary and Roman Antiquities, and especially to some good 
Roman history ; such, for example, as Ferguson's Roman Republic. 

In preparing the notes of this edition, it has been the aim of the editor to 
supply such information only, as could not progerly be inserted in the Dictionary. 
He has endeavoured to furnish precisely such aid as he supposed a diligent stu- 
dent would need, and to present it in such a form as would direct his investiga- 
tions, instead of superseding them. A free use has been made of the materials 
contained in the notes of Burnouf, Planche and Kritz, and such other notes 
have been added as the design of the work seemed to require. In explaining 
the grammatical constructions, the editor has generally contented himself with 
a simple reference to that part of the grammar in which a solution of the diffi- 
culty may be found, leaving it to the student's own reflection to make the 
application 



LIFE OF CAITJS CRISPUS SALLUSTIUS. 



Sallust, the celebrated Roman historian, was bom at Amitemum, a towni 
in the Sabine territory, in the year of Rome 668, 86 years before the birth of 
Christ, and in the consulship of Cinna and Carbo. While young he removed 
to Rome, where he devoted himself to literary pursuits, under the direction of 
Atteius Prsetextatus, a celebrated Athenian grammarian, and an instructor in 
the art of rhetoric. 

At an early age, probably about the year of Rome 695, he obtained the 
questorship, and consequently became entitled to a seat in the senate. In the 
year 701, during a period of great civil commotion, he was made a tribune of 
the people ; and in the dissensions consequent upon the death of Clodius, he 
took an active part in opposition to Milo. To this course he was probably 
moved not less by personal hostility to Milo, whom he had greatly injured, and 
from whom he had received a severe, but well merited chastisement, than by 
attachment to the party of Clodius. In the year 704 the censors, Appius Clau- 
dius and Calpurnius Pi&o, deg-erled him from his rank as senator, on account 
of the infamy of his private character. 

It was probably about this time, that he wroie the Ilietory of the Catilinarian 
Conspiracy, with the exception, perhaps, of the part relating to the characters 
of Caesar and Cato, though some ascribe to the whole work a later date. Of 
most of the events connected with this conspiracy, Sallust had been an eye 
witness, and, with few exceptions, lie appears to have recorded them with ex- 
emplary impartiality. Though at a later period, the bitter enemy of Cicero, he 
manifests no such hostility in his account of this conspiracy, unless it be found 
in the somewhat faint praise which he bestows upon that illustrious orator and 
patriotic statesman. 

Notwithstanding he expressed the determination in the introduction of this 
history, of spending the remainder of his days remote from the agitations of 
public life, he yet entered soon after with renewed ardor into the violent strug 
gles which arose between the parties of Pompey and Caesar. In this contest he 
espoused the cause of Caesar, to whom he was personally attached, and through 
whose influence, in the year of the city 706, he was again made questor, and 
consequently reinstated in the senate. In the following year by the same influ- 
ence he was raised to the pretorship, and about this time also he married 
Terentia, whom Cicero had recently divorced.

b LIFE OF CAIUS CRISPUS SALLUSTIUS. 

Soon after these events the civil war was renewed in Africa, where the rem- 
nants, of the senatorial party had been assembled under the command of Scipio 
and Cato. To oppose these Sallust was directed to conduct a detachment of 
several legions, by the way of Capua to the shores of Campania, where they 
were to embark for Africa. On arriving at the port of embarkation, a mutiny 
arose among the troops on account of their unwillingness to leave Italy, and to 
encounter anew the hardships and dangers to which they had been so long ex- 
posed. Sallust found his authority of no avail to suppress the insurrection, and 
was compelled to secure his own safety by a precipitate flight to Rome, 
whither he was followed by a great number of the troops. Order being 
at length restored by the presence and authority of Caesar, the legions consent- 
ed to embark, and shortly afterwards landed in Africa. Subsequently in an expe- 
dition entrusted to his command, against the island of Cercina, Sallust is said 
to have evinced considerable courage, military skill and prowess. 

After the close of this war, he was appointed to the command of the African 
province, where he acquired immense riches by oppressing the people. On hia 
return home, he was accused by the Numidians, of mal-administration of the 
affairs of his province, but escaped punishment through the friendship of Cassar 
with whom he is reported to have shared his spoils. Scarcely, however, had he 
been acquitted, when Caesar, on whom all his fortunes depended, w^as 
assassinated, on the ides of March, in the year of Rome 710. 

With this event terminated the political career of Sallust, who thenceforward 
devoted himself wholly to the pursuits of private life. In his retirement, besides 
other historical works of which a few fragments now remain, he composed the 
History of the Jugurthine AVar, for which he had collected ample materials 
during his residence in Africa. He also erected a magnificent residence upon 
the Quirinal Hill, and laid out those beautiful gardens, which afterwards bore 
his name, and which were long considered as the pride and ornament of Rome. 
After his decease, which occurred in the year 718, his house and gardens be- 
came the favorite residenr^e of successive Roman emperors. 

As a historian, Sallust has few equals. His style is in a high degree concise 
resembHng in this and in other respects that of Thucydides, whom, he seems 
to have taken as his model. H3 is distinguished also for his uncommon talent 
at graphic description, and his masterly delineations of character. In hia 
writings he is ever the advocate of virtue, and the stern, uncompromising toe 
of corruption in every form, whether exhibited in the >'enal administration of 
government, or in the obscurer vices ot private life. Unfortunately for hia 
memory, the principles of virtue incuicateo in his writings seem to have had 
but little influence in the conduct of his life ; and posterity has shown the less" 
indulgence to his faults, from the contrast wnich they exhibit to his own mora^ 
precepts.

in sonatum pervenerint, profecto existimabunt me magis 
merito quam ignavia judicium animi mei mutavisse, ma- 
jusque commodum ex otio meo, quam ex aliorum nego 
tiis,reipublic8e venturum. Nam ssepe ego audivi, Q. Max- 
imum, P. Scipionem, prgeterea civitatis nostras praeclaros 
viros solitos ita dicere, ' quum majorum imagines intue- 
rentur, vehementissime sibi animum ad virtutem accendi/ 
Scilicet non ceram illam neque figuram tantam vim in 
sese habere, sed memoria rerum gestarum eam flammam 
egregiis viris in pectore crescere, neque prius sedari, 
quam virtus eorum famam atque gloriam adaequaverit. 
At contra quis est omnium his moribus, quin divitiis et 
sumptibus, non probitate neque industria cum majoribus 
suis contendat ? Etiam homines novi, qui antea per vir- 
tutem soliti erant nobilitatem antevenire, furtim et per 
latrocinia potius quam bonis artibus ad imperia et hono- 
res nituntur ; proinde quasi praetura et consulatus atque 
alia omnia hujuscemodi per se ipsa clara et magnifica 
sint, ac non perinde habeantur, ut eorum, qui ea sustinent, 
virtus est. Verum ego liberiiis altiusque processi, dum 
me civitatis morum piget taedetque : nunc ad inceptum 
redeo. 

V. Bellum scripturus sum, quod populas Romanus cum 
Jugurtha, rege Numidarum, gessit : primiim, quia mag- 
num et atrox variaque victoria fuit ; dein, quia tunc pri- 
miim superbiae nobilitatis obviam itum est. Quae conlen- 
tio divina et humana cuncta permiscuit, eoque vecordice 
processit, uti studiis civilibus bellum atque vastitas Italii:e

fihem faceret. Sed priusquam hujuscemodi rei initium 
expedio, pauca supra repetam, quo ad cognoscendum 
omnia illustria magis magisque in aperto sint. Bello 
Punico secundo, quo dux Carthaginiensium Hannibal post 
magnitudinem nominis Romani Italiae opes maxima attriv- 
erat, Masinissa rex Numidarum.. in amicitiam receptus 
a P. Scipione, cui postea Africano cognomen ex virtute 
fuit, multa et praeclara rei militaris facinora fecerat, ob 
quae, victis Carthaginiensibus et capto Syphace, cujus in 
Africa magnum atque late imperium valuit, populus Ro- 
manus, quascumque urbes et agros manu ceperat, regi 
dono dedit. Igitur amicitia Masinissse bona atque hones- 
ta nobis permansit : imperii vitasque ejus finis idem fuit. 
Deinde Micipsa filius regnum solus obtinuit, Manastabale 
et Gulussa fratribus morbo absumptis. Is Adherbalem et 
Hiempsalem ex sese genuit ; Jugurthamque, Manastabalis 
fratris filium, quem Masinissa, quod ortus ex concubina 
erat, priv^atum reliquerat, eodem cultu, quo liberos sues, 
domi habuit. 

VI. Qui ubi primum adolevit, pollens viribus, decora 
facie, sed multo maxime ingenio validus, non se luxu 
neque inertia3 corrumpendum dedit ; sed, uti mos gentis 
illius est, equitare, jaculari, cursu cum sequalibus certare; 
et, quum omnes gloria anteiret, omnibus tamen carus 
esse ; ad hoc pleraque tempera in venando agere, leonem 
atque alias feras primus aut in primis ferire ; plurimum 
facere, et minimum ipse de se loqui. Quibus rebus Micip- 
sa tametsi initio la^tus fuerat, existimans virtutem Jugur- 
thse regno suo glorioe fore, tamen, postquam hominem 
adolescentem, exacta sua aetate, et parvis liberis, magis 
magisque crescere intellegit, vehementer eo negotio per 
motus, multa cum animo suo volvebat. Terrebat eum

natura mortalium avida imperii et prseceps ad explendam 
animi cupidinem, prasterea opportunitas suae liberorum- 
' que setatis, quas etiam mediocres viros spe prsedse trans- 
versos agit, ad hoc studia Numidarum in Jugurtham ac- 
censa, ex quibus, si talem virum interfecisset, ne qua se- 
ditioaut helium oriretur.anxius erat. 

VII. His difficultatihus circumventus, uhi vide^ neque 
per vim neque insidiis opprimi posse hominem t? m accep- 
tum popularihus, quod erat Jugurtha manu p^'omptus et 
appetens gloriaj militaris, statuit eum ohjeclaie pericuHs, 
et eo modo fortunam tentare. Igitur hello Numantino 
Micipsa quum populo Romano equitum atque peditum 
auxilia mitteret, sperans vel ostentando virtutem vel hos- 
tium sasvitia facile eum occasurum, praefecit Numidis, 
quos in Hispaniam mittehat. Sed ea res longe alitor, ac 
ratus erat, evenit. Nam Jugurtha, ut erat impigro atque 
acri ingenio, uhi naturam P. Scipionis, qui tunc Romanis 
imperator erat, et morem hostium cognovit, multo lahore 
multaque cura, praeterea modestissime parendo et saepe 
ohviam eundo periculis in tantam claritudinem hrevi per- 
venerat, ut nostris vehementer carus, Numantinis maximo 
terrori esset. Ac sane, quod difficillimum in primis est, 
et proelio strenuus erat, et honus consilio ; quoruQi alterum 
ex providentia timorem, alterum ex audacia temeritatem 
afFerreplerumque solet. Igitur imperator omnes fere res 
asperas per Jugurtham agere, in amicis habere, magis 
magisque eum in dies amplecti ; quippe cujus neque consil- 
ium neque inceptum ullum frustra erat. Hue accedehat 
munificentia animi et ingenii solertia, quis rebus sibi mul- 
los ex Romanis familiari amicitia conjunxerat. 

VIIL Ea tempestate in exercitu nostro fuere complurcs 
iiovi atque nobiles, quibus divitiae bono honestoque potio- 



O C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

res erant, factiosi domi, potentes apud socios, clari magis 
quam honesti, qui Jugurthae non mediocrem animum pol- 
licitando accendebant, ' si Micipsa rex occidisset, fore, 
uti solus imperii Numidias potiretur : in ipso maximam 
virtutem ; Romae omnia venalia esse.' Sed postquam, 
Numantia deleta, P. Scipiodimittereauxilia et ipse revert) 
domum decrevit, donatum atque laudatum magnifice pro 
concione Jugurtham in prsetorium abduxit, ibique secreto 
monuit, * uti potiiis publice quam privatim amicitiam 
populi Romani coleret, neu quibus largiri insuesceret; 
periculose a paucis emi, quod multorum esset. Si perma- 
nere vellet in suis artibus, ultro illi et gloriam et regnum 
venturum ; sin properantius pergeret, suamet ipsum pecu- 
nia praecipitem casurum.' 

f IX. Sic locutus, cum litteris eum, quas Micipsae red- 
deret, dimisit. Earum sententia haec erai : " Jugurthae 
tui bello Numantino longe maxima virtus fuit ; quam rem 
tibi certo scio gaudio esse. Nobis ob merita sua carus 
est : uti idem senatui et populo Romano sit, summa ope 
nitemur. Tibi quidem pro nostra amicitia gratulor. En 
habes virum dignum te atque avo suo Masinissa." Igitur 
rex, ubi ea, quae fama acceperat, ex litteris imperatoris ita 
esse cognovit, quum virtute tum gratia viri permotus, 
flexit animum suum, et Jugurtham beneficiis vincere 
aggressus est; statimque eum adoptavit, et testamento 
pariter cum filiis heredem instituit. Sed ipse paucos post 
annos, morbo atque aetate confectus, quum sibi finem vitae 
adesse intelligeret, coram amicis et cognatis, itemque 
Adherbale et Hiempsale filiis, dicitur hujuscemodi verba 
cum Jugurtha habuisse. 

X. " Parvum ego te, Jugurtha, amisso patre, sine spa 
sine opibus in meum regnum accepi, existimans non 



JUGURTHA. 



minus me tibi quam [liberis,] si genuissem, ob betieficia 
carum fore : neque ea res falsum me habuit. Nam, ut 
alia magna et egregia tua omittam, novissime, rediens 
Numantia, meque regnumque meum gloria honoravisti. 
tuaque virtute nobis Romanos ex amicis amicissimos 
fecisti ; in Hispania nomen familise renovatum est ; pos- 
tremo, quod difficillimum inter mortales est, gloria invid- 
iam vicisti. Nunc, quoniam mihi natura finem vitae 
facil, per hanc dextram, per regni fidem moneo obtestor- 
que te, uti hos, qui tibi genere propinqui, beneficio meo 
fratres sunt, caros habeas; neu malis alienos adjungere, 
quam sanguine conjunctos retinere. Non exercitus neque 
thesauri prsesidia regni sunt, veriim amici, quos neque 
armis cogcre, neque auro parare queas ; officio et fide 
pariuntur. Quis autem amicior, quam frater fratri ? aut 
quem alienum fidum invenies, si tuis hostis fueris? Equi- 
dem ego vobis regnum trado firmum, si boni eritis ; sin 
mali, imbecillum. Nam concordia parv^e res crescunt, 
discord ia maximse dilabuntur. Ceteriim ante hos te, Ju- 
gurtha, qui setate et sapientia prior es, ne alitor quid 
eveniat, providere decet ; nam in omni certamine, qui 
opulentior est, etiam si accipit injuriam, tamen quia plus 
potest, facere videtur. Vos autem, Adherbal et Hiemp- 
sal, colite, observate talem hunc virum ; imitammi virtu- 
tem, et enitimini, ne ego meliores liberos sumpsisse videar, 
quam genuisse.'' 

XL Ad ea Jugurtha, tarnetsi regem ficta locutum in- 
telligebat, et ipse longe alitor animo agitabat, tamen pro 
tempore benigne respond it. Micipsa paucis post diebus 
moritur. Postquam ilU more regio justa magnifice fece- 
rant, reguli in unum convenere, uti inter se de cunctis 
negotiis disceptarent. Sed Hiempsal, qui minimus ex illis 

2 



C. CmSPI SALLUSTII 



erat, natura ferox, et jam ante ^gnooilitatem Jiigurthse, 
quia materno genere impar erat, despiciens, dextera 
Adherbalem assedit, ne medius ex tribus, quod apud 
Numidas honori ducitur, Jugurtha foret. Dein tarnen uli 
setati concederet fatigatus a fratre, vix in partem alteram 
transductus est. Ibi quum multa de administrando impe- 
rio- dissererent, Jugurtha inter alias res jacit, ' oportere 
quinquennii consulta et decreta omnia rescindi ; nam per 
ea tempora confectum annis Micipsam parum animo 
valuisse.' Tum ' idem' Hiempsal ' placere sibi' respondit; 
* nam ipsum ilium tribus proximis annis adoptatione in 
regnum pervenisse.' Quod verbum in pectus Jugurthse 
altiud^(|uam quisquam ratus erat, descendit. Itaque ex 
eo temporfe ira et metu anxius moliri, parare, atque ea 
modo animo habere, quibus Hiempsal per dolum capere- 
tur.' Quae ubi tardius procedunt, neque lenitur animus 
ferox, statuit quovis modo inceptum perficere. 

XII. Primo conventu, quem ab regulis factum supra 
memoravi, propter dissensionem placuerat dividi thesau- 
ros, finesque imperii singulis constitui. Itaque tempus ad 
utramque rem decernitur, sed maturius ad pecuniam dis- 
tribuendam. Reguli interea in loca propinqua thesauris, 
alius alio, concessere. Sed Hiempsal in oppido Thirmida 
forte ejus domo utebatur, qui proximus lictor Jugurthae 
carus acceptusque ei semper fuerat. Quem ille casu 
ministrum oblatum promissis onerat, impellitque, uti tam- 
quam suam visens domum eat, portarum claves aduiteii- 
nas paret, nam verse ad Hiempsalem referebantur ; cete- 
rum, * ubi res postularet, se ipsum cum magna manu ven- 
turum/ Numida mandata brevi confecit, atque, ut doc- 
tus erat, noctu Jugurthse milites introducit. Qui post- 
quam m sedes irrunere, diversi regem quserere, dormien

tes alios, alios occursantes interficere, scrutari loca aldita, 
clausa effringere, strepitu et tumultu omnia miscere; quum 
interim Hiempsal reperitur, occultans se in tugurio mu- 
lieris ancillag, quo initio pavidus et ignarus loci perfu- 
gerat, Numidee caput ejus, uti jussi erant, ad Jugurtham 
refer unt. 

XIII. Ceterum fama tanti facinoris per omnem Africam 
b]evi divulgatur: Adherbalem omnesque, qui sub imperio 
Micipsce fuerant, metus invadit. In duas partes disce- 
dunt Numid^e : plures Adherbalem sequuntur, sed ilium 
alterum bello meliores. Igitur Jugurtha quam maximas 
potest copias armat, urbes partim vi, alias voluntate im- 
perio suo adjungit, omni Numidi^ imperare parat. Ad- 
herbal, tametsi Romam legates miserat, qui senatum do- 
cerent de csede fratris et fortunis suis, tamen fretus mul- 
titudine militum parabat armis contendere. Sed ubi res 
ad certamen venit, victus ex proelio profugit in provin- 
ciam, ac deinde Romam contendit. Turn Jugurtha, pa- 
tratis consiliis, postquam omnis Numidi83 potiebatur, in 
otio facinus suum cum animo reputans timere populum 
Romanum, neque adversiis iram ejus usquam, nisi in ava- 
ritia nobilitatis et pecunia sua, spem habere. Itaque pan- 
els diebus cum auro et argento multo legates Romam 
mittit, quis prsecepit, primum ' uti veteres amicos muneri- 
bus expleant, deinde novos acquirant, postremo qucEcum- 
que possint largiendo parare, ne cunctentur.' Sed ubi 
Romam legati venere, et ex prcecepto regis hospitibus 
aliisqae, quorum ea tempestate in senatu auctoritas polle- 
bat, magna munera misere, tanta commutatio incessit, 
uti ex maxima invidia in gratiam et favorem nobilitatis 
Jugurtha veniret, quorum pars spc, alii proemio inducti 
singulos ex senatu ambiendo nitebantur, ne gravius in 



10 ^ C. CRISPl SALLUSTII 

eum consuleretur. Igitur ubi legati satis confidunt, die 
constitute senatus utrisque datur. Turn Adherbalem hoc 
modo locutum accepimus : 

XIV. " Patres conscripti, Micipsa pater meus morierjs 
mihi prsBcepit, ' uti regni Numidise tantummodo procura- 
tionem existimarem meam, ceterum jus et imperium ejus 
penes vos esse: simul eniterer domi militiaeque quam max- 
imo Usui esse populo Romano ; vos mihi cognatorum, vos 
affinium loco ducerem : si ea fecissem, in vestra amicitia 
exercitum, divitias, raunimenta regni me habiturum.' Quae 
quum prsecepta parentis mei agitarem, Jugurtha, homo 
omnium, quos terra sustinet, sceleratissimus, contempto 
imperio vestry, Masinissas me nepotem, et jam ab stirpe 
socium atque amicum populi Romani, regno fortunisque 
omnibus expulit. Atque ego, patres conscripti, quoniam 
eo miseriarum venturus eram, vellem potius ob mea quam 
ob majorum meorum beneficia posse a vobis auxilium 
petere, ac maxime deberi mihi beneficia a populo Roma- 
no, quibus non egerem ; secundum, ea si desideranda 
erant, uii debitis uterer. Sed quoniam parum tuta per se 
ipsa probitas est, neque mihi in manu fuit, Jugurtha quahs 
foret, ad vos confugi, patres conscripti, quibus, quod mihi 
miserrimum est, cogor priiis oneri quam usui esse. Cet- 
eri reges aut bello victi in amicitiam a vobis recepti 
sunt, aut in suis dubiis rebus societatem vestram appeti- 
verunt: famiha nostra cum populo Romano bello Cartha- 
giniensi amicitiam instituit, quo tempore magis fides ejus 
quam fortuna petenda erat. Quorum progeniem vos, 
patres conscripti, nolite pati me, nepotem Masinissa^ 
frustra a vobis auxilium petere.

atque copiis potens, nunc deformatus termnnis, inops, 
alienas opes exspecto, tamen erat majestatis populi Ro- 
mani prohibere injuriam, neque pati cujusquam regnum 
per scelus crescere. Verum ego his finibas ejectus sum, 
quos majoribus meis populus Romanus dedit ; undo pater 
et avus meus una vobiscum expulere Syphacem et Car- 
thaginienses. Vestra beneficia mihi erepta sunt, patres 
conscripti, vos in mea injuria despecti estis. Eheu me 
miserum ! Huccine, Micipsa pater, beneficia tua eva- 
sere, uti, quem tu parem cum liberis tuis, regniquepartic- 
ipem fecisti, is potissimum stirpis tu^ extinctor sit? 
Numquam ergo familia nostra quieta erit? semperne 
in sanguine, ferro, fuga versabimur? Dum Carthagini- 
enses incolumes fuere, jure omnia saeva patiebamur: 
hostes ab latere, vos amici procul, spes omnis in armis 
erat. Postquam ilia pestis ex Africa ejecta est, laeti 
pacem agitabamxus : quippe quis hostis nullus erat, nisi 
forte quem vos jussissetis. Ecce autem ex improviso Ju- 
gurtha intoleranda audacia, scelere atque superbia sese 
efferens, fratre meo atque eodem propinquo suo inter- 
fecto, primum regnum ejus sceleris sui prsedam fecit : 
post, ubi me iisdem dolis nequit capere, nihil minus quam 
vim aut bellum exspectantem in imperio vestro, sic uti 
videtis, extorrem patria, domo, inopem et coopertum 
rniseriis effecit, ut ubivis tutius quam in meo regno essem. 
" Ego sic existimabam, patres conscripti, ut pra^dican- 
tem audiveram patrem meum, ' qui vestram amicitiam 
diligenter colerent, eos multum laborem suscipere, cete- 
rum ex omnibus maxime tutos esse.' Quod in jamilia 
nostra fuit, prcestitit, uti in omnibus bellis adesset vobis .

Alter eorum necatus est, alterius ipse ego manus inipiafa 
vix efiugi. Quid agam ? aut quo potissimum infelix 
accedam? Generis prjesidia omnia exstincta sunt: pater, 
uti necesse erat, naturae concessit ; fratri, quern minime 
decuit, propinquus per scelus vitam eripuit ; afRnes, ami- 
cos, propinquos ceteros, alium alia clades oppressit : capti 
ab Jugurtha pars in crucem acti, pars bestiis objccti sunt; 
pauci, quibus relicta est anima, clausi in tenebris cum 
mcerore et luctu morte graviorem vitam exigant. Si 
omnia, quas aut amisi, aut ex necessariis adversa fecta 
sunt, incolumia manerent, tamen, si quid ex improvise 
mali accidisset, vos implorarem, patres conscripti, cuibu? 
pro magnitudine imperii jus et injurias omnes curse esse 
decet. Nunc vero exsul patna, domo, solus atque om- 
nium honestarum rerum egens, quo accidam, aut quos 
appellem ? nationesne an reges, qui omnes familisB nostra 
ob vestram amicitiam infesti sunt ? an quoquam mihi 
adire licet, ubi non majorum meorum hostilia monumenta 
plurima sint? aut quisquam nostri misereri potest, qui 
aliquando vobis hostis fuit ? 

Postremo Masinissa nos ita instituit, patres conscripti, 
* ne quem coleremus nisi populum Romanum, ne socie 
tates, ne foedera nova acciperemus ; abunde magna prss 
sidia nobis in vestra amicitia fore ; si huic imperio fortuna 
mutaretur, una nobis occidendum esse.' Virtute ac dis 
volentibus, magni estis et opulenti, omnia secunda et obe- 
dientia sunt ; quo facilius sociorum injurias curare licet. 
Tantum illud vereor, ne quos privata amicitia JugurthcR 
parum cognita transversos agat, quos ego audio maxima 
ope niti, ambire, fatigare vos singulos, ' ne quid de ab- 
sente, incocrnita causa, statuatis: fingere me verba, et

fugam simulare, cui licuerit in regno manere ' Quod 
utinam ilium, cujus impio facinore in has miserias projec- 
lus sum, eadem heec simulantem videam, et aliquando aut 
apud vos, aut apud deos immortales rerum humanarum 
cura oriatur ! Nse ille, qui nunc sceleribus suis ferox 
atque praeclarus est, omnibus mails excruciatus, impietatis 
in parentem nostrum, fratris mei necis mearumque mise- 
riarum graves pcenas reddet. Jam jam frater animo meo 
carissime, quamquam tibi immaturo, et undeminime dec- 
uit, vita erepta est, tamen lastandum magis quam dolen- 
dum puto casum tuum : non enim regnum, sed fugam, 
exsilium, egestatem et omnes has, qu8B me premunt, 
serumnas cum anima simul amisisti. At ego infelix, in 
tanta mala praecipitatus ex patrio regno, rerum humana- 
rum spectaculum prssbeo, incertus quid agam, tuasne in- 
jurias persequar, ipse auxilii egens, an regno consulam, 
cujus vit^ necisque potestas ex opibus alienis pendet. 
Utinam emori fortunis meis honestus exitus esset, neu 
vivere contemptus viderer, si defessus malis injurise con- 
cessissem. Nunc neque vivere hbet, neque mori licet 
sine dedecore. Patres conscripti, per vos, per liberos 
atque parentes vestros, per majestatem populi Romani, 
subvenite misero mihi, ite obviam injuriae, nolite pati reg- 
num jNJumidias, quod vestrum est, per scelus et sanguinem 
familise nostrse tabescere." 

XV. Postquam rex finem loquendi fecit, legati Jugur- 
thae, largitione magis quam causa freti, paucis respon- 
dent : ' Hiempsalem ob saevitiam suam ab Numidis inter- 
fectum : Adherbalem ultro bellum inferentem, postquam 
superatus sit, queri, quod injuriam facere nequivisset: 
Jugurtham ab senatu petere, ne se alium putarent, ac 
NumanticS cognitus esset, neu verba inimici ante facta

sua ponerent.' Deinde utrique curia egrediuntur. Sena^ 
tus statim consulitur. Fautores legatorum, piaeterea 
magna pars gratia depravata, Adherbalis dicta contem- 
nere, Jugurthse virtutem extollere laudibus ; gratia, voce, 
denique omnibus modis pro alieno scelere et flagitio, sua 
quasi pro gloria, nitebantur. At contra pauci, quibus 
bonum et sequum divitiis carius erat, * subveniendum 
AdhertfSali, et Hiempsalis mortem severe vindicandam' 
censebant : sed ex omnibus maxime JEmilius Scaurus, 
homo nobilis, impiger, factiosus, avidus potentiae, honoris, 
divitiarum, ceterum vitia sua callide occultans. Is post- 
quam videt regis largitionem famosam impudentemque, 
veritus, quod in tali re solet, ne poUuta licentia invidiam 
accenderet, animum a consueta libidine continuit. 

XVI. Vicit tamen in senatu pars ilia, quae vero pretium 
aut gratiam anteferebat. Decretum fit, ' uti decem legati 
regnum, quod Micipsa obtinuerat, inter Jugurtham et 
Adherbalem dividerent.' Cujus legationis princeps fuit 
L. Opimius, homo cla^rus et tunc in senatu potens ; quia 
consul, C. Graccho et M. Fulvio Flacco interfectis, acer- 
rime victoriam nobilitatis in plebem exercuerat. Eum 
Jugurtha tametsi Rom^ in inimicis habuerat, tamen accu- 
ratissimc recepit: dando et pollicitando multa perfecit, 
uti fama3, fidei, postremo omnibus sais rebus commodum 
regis anteferret. Reliquos legatos eadem via aggressus, 
plerosque capit : paucis carior fides quam pecunia fuit. 
In divisione, quae pars Numidiae Mauretaniam attingit. 
agro virisque opulentior, Jugurthae traditur; illam alteram 
specie quam usu potiorem, quae portuosior et aedificiis 
magis exornata erat, Adherbal possedit. 

XVII. Res postulare videtur Africae situm paucis ex- 
[^onere, et eas gcntes, quibuscum nobis bellumaut amicit- 



J U G U R T H A . J 5 

ia fuit, attingere. Sed quae loca et nationes ob calorem 
aut asperitatem item solitudines minus frequentata sunt, do 
lis baud facile compertum narraverim ; cetera quam pau- 
cissimis absolvam. 

In divisione orbis terree plerique in partem tertiam 
Africam posuere : pauci tantummodo Asiam et Europam 
esse, sed Africam in Europa. Ea fines habet ab occi- 
dente fretum nostri maris et Oceani ; ab ortu solis decli- 
vem latitudinem, quem locum Catabathmon incolae appel- 
lant. Mare s^vum, importuosum ; ager frugum fertilis, 
bonus pecori, arbore infecundus ; coelo terraque penuria 
aquarum. Genus hominum salubri corpore, velox, patiens 
laborum : plerosque senectus dissolvit, nisi qui ferro aut 
bestiis interiere, nam morbus baud ssepe quemquam su- 
perat. Ad hoc malefici generis plurima animalia. Sed 
qui mortales initio Africam habuerint, quique postea ac- 
cesserint, aut quomodo inter se permixti sint, quamquam 
ab ea fama, quae plerosque obtinet, diversum est, tamen, 
uti ex libris Punicis, qui regis Hiempsalis dicebantur, in- 
terpretalum nobis est, utique rem sese habere cultores 
ejus terrjB putant, quam paucissimis dicam : ceterum fides 
ejus rei penes auctores erit. 

XVIIL Africam initio habuere Gsetuli et Libyes, as- 
peri incultique, quis cibus erat caro ferinaatque humi pab- 
ulum, uti pecoribus. Hi neque moribus neque lege, aut 
imperio cujusquam regebantur : vagi, palantes, qua nox 
coegerat, sedes habebant. Sed postquam in Hispania 
Hercules, sicuti Afri putant, interiit, exercitus ejus, com- 
positus ex variis gentibus, amisso duce, ac passim multis, 
sibi quisque, imperium petentibus, brevi dilabitur. Ex eo 
numero Medi, Persae et Armenii, navibus in African) 
^'ansvecti, proximos nostro mari locos occupavere, seJ

Pcrsa3 intra Oceanum magis : hique alveos navium in- 
verses pro tuguriis habuere, quia neque materia in agris. 
neque ab Hispanis emendi aut mutandi copia erat: mare 
magnum et ignara lingua commercia proliibebant. Hi 
paulatim per connubia Gsetulos secum miscuere ; et quia 
ssepe tentantes agros, alia deinde alia loca petiverant, 
semet ipsi Nomadas appellavere. Ceteriimadhuc sedific- 
ia Numidarum agrestium, quae mapalia illi vocant, ob- 
longa, incurvis lateribus tecta, quasi navium carinse sunt.

piiis mare Africum agitabant, Gaetuli sub sole magis, 
baud procul ab ardoribus:) hique mature oppida habuere; 
nam freto divisi ab Hispania mutare res inter se institue-

lingua Mauros pro Medis appellantes. Sed res Persarum 
brevi adolevit ; ac postea, nomine Numidse, propter mul- 
titudinem a parentibus digressi, possedere ea loca, quae 
proxime Carthaginem Nuniidia appellatur. Deinde utri- 
que alteris freti, finitimos armis aut metu sub imperium 
suum coegere, nomen gloriamque sibi addidere ; magis 
hi, qui ad nostrum mare processerant, quia Libyes quam 
Gastuli minus bellicosi. Denique Africa pars inferior 
pleraque ab Nuna'dis possessa est ; victi omnes in gentem 
nomenque imperantium concessere.

Africa dividit, secundo mari prima Cyrene est, colonia

deinde Philasnon arae, quern locum ^^gyptum versus 
finem imperii habuere Carthaginienses ; post alias Punicce 
urbes. Cetera loca usque ad Mauretaniam NumidjB 
tenent : proxime Hispaniam Mauri sunt. Super Numid- 
lam Gagtulos accepimus, partim in tuguriis, alios incul- 
tiiis vagos agitare, post eos iEthiopas esse, dein loca ex- 
usta solis ardoribus. Igitur bello Jugurthino pleraque ex 
Punicis oppida et fines Carthagiensium, quos novissime 
habuerant, populus Romanus per magistratus adminis- 
trabat : Gsetulorum magna pars, et Numida3 usque ad 
flumen Mulucham sub Jugurtha erant : Mauris- omnibus 
rex Bocchus imperitabat, praeter nomen cetera ignarus 
populi Romani, itemque nobis neque bello neque pace 
antea cognitus. De Africa et ejus incolis ad necessitud' 
nem rei satis dictum. 

XX. Postquam, diviso regno, legati Africa decessere, 
et Jugurtha contra timorem animi praemia sceleris adep- 
tum sese videt, certum ratus, quod ex amicis apud Nu- 
mantiam acceperat, omnia Romae venalia esse, simul et 
illorum pollicitationibus accensus, quos paulo ante mu- 
neribus expleverat, in regnum Adherbalis animum inten- 
dit. Ipse acer, bellicosus ; at is, quem petebat, quietus, 
imbellis, placido ingenio, opportunus injuries, metuens 
magis quam metuendus. Igitur ex improvise fines ejus 
cum magna manu mvadit ; multos mortales cum pecore 
atque alia praeda capit, aedificia incendit, pleraque loca 
liostiliter cum equitatu accedit : deinde cum omni multi- 
t -^iine in regnum suum convertit ; existimans dolore per- 
Diotum Adherbhiem nijurias suas manu vindicaturum: 



18 C. CRISPI SALLUSTIIu 

eamque rem belli causam fore. At ille, quod neque se 
parem armis existimabat, et amicitia populi Romani ma- 
gis quam Numidis fretus erat, legatos ad Jugurtham de 
injuriis questum misit : qui tametsi contumeliosa dicta 
retulerant, prius tamen omnia pati decrevit, quam bellum 
sumere, quia tentatum antea secus cesserat. Neque eo 
magis cupido Jugurthse minuebatur; quippe qui tolum 
ejus regnum animo jam invaserai. Itaque non, ut antea, 
cum praedatoria manu, sed magno exercitu comparato 
bellum gerere coepit, et aperte totius Numidise imperium 
petere. Ceteriim, qua pergebat, urbes, agros vastare, 
proedas agere ; suis animum, hostibus terrorem augere. 

XXL Adherbal ubi intellegit eo processum, uti reg- 
num aut relinquendum esset, aut armis retinen(lum,nec- 
essario copias parat, et Jugurthse obvius procedit. In- 
terim baud longe a mari, prope Cirtam oppidum, utrius- 
que consedit exercitus, et quia diei extremum erat, prae- 
liuni non inceptum. Sed ubi plerumque noctis processit, 
obscuro etiamtum lumine, milites Jugurthini, signp dato, 
castra hostium invadunt ; semisomnos partim, alios arma 
sumentes fugant funduntque. Adherbal cum paucisequit- 
ibus Cirtam profugit ; et, ni multitudo togatorum fuisset, 
quae Numidas insequentes moenibus pronibuit, uno die 
inter duos reges coeptum atque patratum bellum foret. 
Igitur Jugurtha oppidum circumsedit, vineis turribusque 
et machinis omnium generum expugnare aggreditur ; 
maxime festinans tempus legatorum antecapere, quos, 
ante proelium factum, ab Adherbale Romammissosaudiv- 
erat. Sed postquam senatus de bello eorum accepit, 
tres adolescentes in Africam legantur. qui ambos reges 
atieant, senatus populique Romani verbis auntient, * velle 



JUGURTHA. 19 

et censere eos ab armis discedere ; de controversiis suis 
jure potiiis quam bello disceptare : ita seque illisque dig- 
num esse.* 

XXII. Legati in Africam maturantes veniunt, eo ma- 
g]s, quod Romse, dum proficisci parant, de proslio facto 
et oppugnatione Cirtas audiebatur : sed is rumor clemens 
erat. Quorum, Jugurtha, accepta oratione,- respondit : 
* sibi neque majus quicquam neque carius auctoritate 
senati esse; ab adolescentia ita se enisum, uti ab optimo 
quoque probaretur : virtute, non malitia P. Scipioni, smn- 
ino viro, placuisse ; ob easdem artes ab Micipsa, non 
[)enuria liberorum, in regnum adoptatum esse. Ceterum 
quo plura bene atque strenue fecisset, eo animum suum 
injurirAin minus tolerare. Adherbalem dolis vitae suae 
insidiatum ; quod ubi comperisset, sceleri ejus obviam 
isse. Populum Romanum neque recte neque pro bono 
facturum, si ab jure gentium sese prohibuerit. Postremo 
de omnibus rebus legatos Romam brevi missurum.' Ita 
utrique digrediuntur. Adherbalis appellandi copia non 
fuit. 

XXIII. Jugurtha ubi eos Africa decessit^^e ratus est, 
neque propter loci naturam Cirtam arm-Is expugnare 
potest, vallo atque fossa mosnia circumdat, turres ex- 
struit, easque proesidiis firmat : pra^terea dies noctesque 
aut per vim, aut dolis tentare ; defensoribus moenium 
praemia modo, modo formidinem ostentare ; suos hortan- 
do ad virtutem arrigere ; prorsus intentus cuncta parare. 
Adherbal ubi intellegit omnes suas fortunas in extreme 
sitas, hostem infestum, auxilii spem nullam, penuria re- 
rum necessariarum bellum trahi non posse, ex his, qui 
una Cirtam profugerant, duos, maxime impigros delegit 
eos multa pollicendo ac miserando casum suum con- 



20 C. CRISPI SALLUSIII 

firinat, uti per hostium manitiones noctu ad proximum 
mare, dein Romam pergerent. 

XXIV. Numidse paucis diebus jussa efficiunt ; litterse 
Adherbalis in senatu recitatae, quarum sententia hsec fait. 
-J "Non mea culpa sa-'pe ad vos ora^um mitto, patres 
conscripti, sed vis Jugurthae subigit, quern lanta lil)ido 
exslinguendi me invasit, uti neque vos neque decs im- 
morlales in animo habeat, sanguinem meum quam om- 
a.a malit. Itaque quintum jam mensem socius et ami- 
cus populi Romani armis obsessus leneor, neque mihi 
Micipsae patris mei beneficia; ncr^ue vestra decreta aux- 
iliantur: ferro an fame acrius urgear, incertus sum. 
Plura de Jugurtha scribere dehortatur me fortuna mea, 
et jam antea expertus sum \ arum fidei miseris esse : nisi 
tamen intelligo ilium supra ^ quam ego sum, petere, neque 
simul amicitiam vestram et regnum meum sperare: 
utrum gravius existimet, nemini occultum est. . Nam 
initio occidit Hiempsalem, fratrem meum, deinde patrio 
regno me expulit. Quas sane faerint nosti-se injuriae, 
nihil ad vos. Verum nunc vestrum regnum armis tenet, 
me, quem vos imperatorem Numidis posuistis, clausum 
obsidet; legatorum verba quanti fecerit, pericula mea 
declarant. Quid reliquum, nisi vis vestra, quo moveri 
possit ? Nam ego quidem vellem, et haec, quae scribo, et 
ilia, quae antea in senatu questus sum, vana forent potiiis, 
quam miseria mea fidem verbis faceret. Sed quoniam eo 
natus sum, ut Jugurthae scelerum ostentui essem, non jam 
juortem neque aerumnas, tantummodo inimici imperium 
et cruciatus corporis deprecor. Regno Numidiae, qu(^d 
vesirum est, uti libet, consulite : me manibus impiis erip- 
ite, per majestatem imperii, per amicitiae fidem, si uUa 
apud vos memoria remanet avi mei Masinissae." 



JUGURTHA. 21 

XXV. His litteris recitatis, fuere, qui * exercituiii in 
Africa m mittendum' censerent, 'et quam primum Adher- 
bali subveniendum : de Jugurtha interim uti consulere- 
tur, quoniam legatis non paruisset.' Sed ab iisdem iliis 
regis fautoribus summa ope enisam, ne tale decretum 
iieret. Ita bonum publicum, ut in plerisque negotiis so- 
let, privata gratia devictum. Legantur tamen in Africam 
majores natu, nobiles, amplis honoribus usi ; in quis fuit 
M. Scaurus, de quo supra memoravimus, consularis, et 
tunc in senatu princeps. Hi, quod res in invidia erat, 
simul et ab Numidis obsecrati, triduo navim ascendere : 
deinde brevi Uticam appulsi litteras ad Jugurtham mit- 
tunt, ' quam ocissime ad provinciam accedat, seque ad 
eum ab senatu missos.' Ille ubi accepit homines claros, 
quorum auctoritatem Romse poUere audiverat, contra 
inceptum suum venisse, primo commotus, metu atque 
libidine diversus agitabatur. Timebat iram senati, ni 
paruisset legatis : porro animus cupidine caecus ad incep- 
tum scelus rapiebat. Vicit tamen in avido ingenio pra- 
vum consilium. Igitur, exercitu circumdato, summa vi 
Cirtam irrumpere nititur ; maxime sperans, diducta manu 
hostium, aut vi aut dolis sese casum victorise inventurum. 
Quod ubi seciis procedit, neque, quod intenderat, effTcere 
potest, uti prius, quam legatos conveniret, Adherbalis 
potiretur, ne amplius morando Scaurum, quem plurimiim 
metuebat, incenderet, cum paucis equitibus in provinciam 
venit. Ac tametsi senati verbis graves minse nuntiaban- 
tur, quod ab oppugnatione non desisteret, multa tamen 
oratione consumpta, legati frustra discessere. 

XXVI. Ea postquam Cirtse audita sunt, Italici, quo- 
rum virtute moenia defensabaritur, confisi, deditione facta, 
propter magnitudinem populi Romani inviolatos sese fore, 



22 G. CRISPI SALLUSTll 

Adherbali suadent, * uti seque et oppidum Jugurthas tra 
dat; tantiim ab eo vitam paciscatur, de ceteris senatiii 
curse fore.' At ille, tametsi omnia potiora fide Jugurlhai 
rebalur, tamen, quia penes eosdem, si adversaretur, co- 
gendi potestas erat, ita, uti censuerant Italici, deditionem 
facit. Jugurtha in primis Adherbalem excruciatum 
necat; deinde omnes puberes Numidas et negotiatores 
promiscue, uti quisque armatis obvius fuerat, interfecit. 

XXVII. Quod postquam Romoe cognitum est, et res in 
senatu agitari coepta ; iidem illi ministri regis interpellan- 
do, ac ssepe gratia interdum jurgiis trahendo tempus, 
atrocitatem facti leniebant. Ac ni C. Memmius, tribu- 
nus plebis designatus, vir acer et infestus potentiae no- 
bilitatis, populum Romanum edocuisset * id agi, uti per 
paucos factiosos Jugurthas scelus condonaretur,' profecto 
omnis invidia prolatandis consultationibus dilapsa foret : 
tanta vis gratise atque pecuniae regis erat. Sed ubi se- 
natus delicti conscientia populum timet, lege Sempronia 
provinciae futuris consulibus Numidia atque Italia decretse, 
consules declarati P. Scipio Nasica, L. Bestia Calpur- 
nius. Calpurnio Numidia, Scipioni Italia obvenit. De- 
inde exercitus, qui in Africam portaretur, scribitur : sti- 
pendium aliaque, quae bello usui forent, decernuntur. 

XXVIII. At Jugurtha, contra spem nuntio accepto, 
quippe cui Romae omnia venum ire in animo hfeserat, 
filium et cum eo duos familiares ad senatum legatos mit- 
tit ; hisque, ut illis, quos Hiempsale interfecto miserat 
praecepit, ' omnes mortales pecunia aggrediantur.' Qui 
postquam Romam adventabant, senatus a Bestia consul- 
tus est, * placeretne legatos Jugurthae recipi mojnibus : 
iique decrev^re, * nisi regnum ipsumque deditum venis 
sent, uti in diebus proximis decem Italia decederent 



JUGURTHA. ' 23 

Consul Numidis ex senati decreto nuntiari jubet : ita in- 
fectis rebus illi domum discedunt. Interim Calpurnius, 
parato exercitu, legat sibi homines nobiles, factiosos, 
quorum auctoritate, quae deliquisset, munita fore spera- 
bat : in quis fuit Scaurus, cujus de natura et habitu supra 
memoravimus. Nam in consule nostro multae bonagque 
artes animi et corporis erant, quas omnes avaritia prsepe- 
diebat. Patiens laborum, acri ingenio, satis providens, 
belli baud ignarus, firmissimus contra pericula et insidias. 
Sed legiones per Italiam Rhegium atque inde Sicilian!, 
porro ex Sicilia in Africam transvectae. Igitur Calpur- 
nius initio, paratis commeatibus, acriter Numidiam in- 
gressus est, multosque mortales et urbes aliquot pugnando 
cepit. 

XXIX. Sed ubi Jugurtha per legatos pecunia tentare, 
bellique, qcj\ administrabat, asperitatem ostendere coe- 
pit, animus OGger avaritia facile conversus est. Cete- 
rurn socius et administer omnium consiliorum assumitur 
Scaurus; qui tametsi a principio, plerisque ex factione 
ejus corruptis, acerrime regem impugnaverat, tamen 
magnitudine pecuniae a bono honestoque in pravum ab- 
stractus est. Sed Jugurtha primo tantummodo belli 
moram redimebat, existimans sese aliquid interim Romas 
pretio aut gratia effecturum; postea vero quam partici- 
pem negotii Scaurum accepit, in maximam spem ad- 
ductus recuperandas . pacis, statuit cum eis de omnibus 
pactionibus "praesens agere. Ceterum interea fidei causa 
mittitur a consule Sextius quaestor in oppidum Jugurthac 
Vaccam; cujus rei species erat acceptio frumenti, quod 
Calpurnius palam legatis imperaverat, quoniam deditio- 
nis mora mduciae agitabantur. Igitur rex, uti constitue- 
rat, in castra venit; ac pauca, praesenti consilio, locutus 

3* 



24 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

de invidia £acti sui, atque in deditionem uti acciperetui 
reliqua cum Bestia et Scauro secreta transigit: dein pos- 
tero die, quasi per saturam exquisitis sententiis, in dedit- 
ionem accipitur. Sed, uti pro consilio imperatum erat, 
elephanti triginta, pecus atque equi multi cum parvo 
argenti pondere quaestori traduntur. Calpurnius Romam 
ad magistratus rogandos proficiscitur. In Numidia et 
exeicitu nostro pax agitabatur. 

XXX. Postquam res in Africa gestas, quoque modo 
actse forent, fama divulgavit, Romse per omnes locos et 
conventus de facto consulis agitari. Apud plebem gra- 
vis invidia; patres solliciti erant; probarentne tantum 
flagitium, an decretum consulis subverterent, parum con- 
stabat: ac maxime eos potentia Scauri, quod is auctor et 
socius Bestise ferebatur, a vero bonoque impediebat. At 
C. Memmius, cujus de libertate ingenii et odio potentiae 
nobilitatis supra diximus, inter dubitationem et moras 
senaii concionibus populum ad vindicandum hortari, 
monere, ne rempublicam, ne libertatem suam desererent ; 
multa superba et crudelia facin0ra nobilitatis ostendere* 
prorsus intentus omni modo plebis animum accendebat. 
Sed, quoniam ea tempestate Romae Memmii facundia 
clara pollensque fuit, decere existimavi unam ex tarn 
multis orationem ejus perscribere, ac potissimiim ea di- 
cam, quae in concione post reditum Bestiae hujuscemodi 
verbis disseruit. 

XXXI. "Multa me dehortantur a vobis, Quirites, ni 
studium reipublicas omnia superet, opes facrionis, vestra 
patientia, jus nullum, ac maxime, quod innocentiae plus 
periculi quam honoris est. Nam ilia quidem piget die 
ere, his annis quindecim quam ludibrio fueritis super 
bia3 paucorum; quam foede quamque inulti perierint 



JUGURTHA. 25 

vestri defensores ; ut vobis animus ab ignavia atque so- 
cordia corruptus sit, qui ne nunc quidem, obnoxiis in- 
imicis, exsurgitis, atque etiam nunc timetis eos,quibus vos 
decet terrori esse. Sed quamquam hsec talia sunt, tamen 
obviani ire factionis potentiae animus subigit. Certe ego 
libertatem, quae mihi a parente tradita est, experiar : ve- 
rum id frustra an ob rem faciam, in vestra manu situm 
est, Quirites. Neque ego vos hortor, quod saspe majorcs 
vestri fecere, uti contra injurias armati eatis. Nihil vi, 
nihil secessione opus est: necesse est, suomet ipsi more 
prascipites eant. Occiso Tiberio Graccho, quem reg- 
num parare aiebant, in plebem Romanam qusestiones 
habitas sunt. Post C. Gracchi et M. Fulvii caedem, item 
vestri ordinis multi mortales in carcere necati sunt: 
utriusque cladis non lex, verum libido eorum finem fecit. 
Sed sane fuerit regni paratio plebi sua restituere : quid- 
quid sine sanguine civium ulcisci nequitur, jure factum 
sit. Superioribus annis taciti indignabamini asrarium 
expilari, reges et populos liberos paucis nobilibus vectigal 
pendere, penes eosdem et summam gloriam, et maximas 
divitias esse : tamen hsec talia facinora impune suscepisse 
parum habuere, itaque postremo leges, majestas vestra, 
divina et humana omnia hostibus tradita sunt. Neque 
eos, qui ea fecere, pudet aut poenitet, sed incedunt per 
ora vestra magnifici, sacerdotia et consulatus, pars trium- 
phos suos ostentantes, perinde quasi ea honori, non prae- 
dse habeant. Servi aere parati imperia injusta domino- 
rum non perferunt : vos, Quirites, imperio nati, aequo ani- 
rno servitutem toleratis ? At qui sunt hi, qui rempublicam 
occupavere ? Homines sceleratissimi, cruentis manibus, 
immani avaritia, nocentissimi iidemque superbissimi ; 
quis fides, decus, pietas, postremo honesta atque inho- 



26 C. CRISPI SALLUSTIl 

nesta, omiia qusestui sunt. Pars eorum occidisse tribu 
nos plebis, alii quiaestiones injustas, plerique caedem in 
v-os fecisse pro munimento habent. Ita quam quisque 
pessime fecit, tarn maxime tutus est ; metum a scelere 
suo ad ignaviam vestram transtulere ; quos omnes eadem 
cupere, eadem odisse, eadem metuere in unum coegit: sed 
haec inter bonos amicitia, inter malos factio est. Quod 
si tam vos libertatis curam haberetis, quam illi ad domi- 
nationem accensi sunt, profecto neque respublica, sicuti 
nunc^ vastaretur, et beneficia vestra penes optimos, non 
audacissimos forent. Majores vestri parandi juris et maj- 
estatis constituendce gratia bis per secessionem armati 
Aventinum occupavere : vos pro libertate, quam ab illis 
accepistis, non summa ope nitemini ? atque eo vehemen- 
tius, quod majus dedecus est parta amittere, quam om- 
nino non paravisse. Dicet aliquis: "Quid igitur censes?' 
Vindicandum in eos, qui hosti prodidere rempublicam; 
non manu neque vi, quod magis vos fecisse quam illis 
accidisse indignum est, verum quaestionibus et indicio ip- 
sius Jugurthse, qui si dedititius est, profecto jussis vestris 
obediens erit ; sin ea contemnit, scilicet existimabitis qua- 
lis ilia pax aut deditio sit, ex qua ad Jugurtham scelerum. 
impunitas. ad paucos potentes maximas divitiae, in rem- 
publicam damna atque dedecora pervenerint. Nisi forte 
nondum etiam vos dominationis eorum satietas tenet, ei 
ilia quam haec tempora magis placent, quum regna, pro- 
vinciae, leges, jura, judicia, bella, atque, paces, postremo 
divina et humana omnia penes paucos erant ; vos autem, 
hoc est populus Romanus, invicti ab hostibus, imperatores 
omnium gentium, satis habebatis animam retinere ; nam 
servitutem quidem quis vestrum recusare audebat? Atque 
ego. tametsi flagitiosissimum existimo impune injuriam 



JUGURTHA. 27 

accepisse, tamen vos hominibus sceleratissimis ignoscere, 
quoniam cives sunt, aequo animo paterer, nisi misericordia 
in perniciem casura esset. Nam et illis, quantum impor- 
tunitatis habent, parum est impune male fecisse, nisi de- 
inde faciendi licentia eripitur, et vobis aeterna sollicitudo 
remanebit, quum intelligetis aut serviendum esse, aut per 
manus libertatem retinendam. Nam fidei quidem aut 
concordise quae spes est? Dominari illi volunt, vos liberi 
esse ; facere illi injurias, vos prohibere ; postremo sociis 
vestris veluti hostibus, hostibus pro sociis utuntur. Po- 
-lestne in tam diversis mentibus pax aut amicitia esse? 
Quare moneo hortorque vos, ne tantum scelus impunitum 
omittatis. Non peculatus aerarii factus est, neque per vim 
sociis ereptae pecuniae ; quae quamquam gravia sunt, ta- 
men consuetudine jam pro nihilo habentur : hosti acer- 
rimo prodita senati auctoritas, proditum imperium ves- 
trum ; domi militiaeque respublica venalis fuit. Qu® nisi 
quaesita erunt, ni vindicatum in noxios, quid erit reliquum, 
nisi ut illis, qui ea fecere, obedientes vivamus ? nam im- 
pune quaelibet facere, id est regem esse. Neque ego vos, 
Quirites, hortor, ut malitis cives vestros perperam quam 
recte fecisse, sed ne ignoscendo malis bonos perditum 
eatis. Ad hoc in republica multo praestat beneficii quam 
maleficii immemorem esse ; bonus tantummodo segnior 
fit, ubi negligas, at mains improbior. Ad hoc si injuriae 
non sint, hand saepe auxihi egeas." 

XXXII. Haec atque alia hujuscemodi ssepe dicendo, 
Memmius populo persuadet, uti L. Cassius, qui tunc pros- 
tor erat, ad Jugurtham mitteretur, eumque, interposita 
fide publica, Romam duceret, quo* facilius indicio regis, 
Scauri et reliquorum, quos pecuniae captae arcessebant, 
delicta patefierent. Dum haec Roma3 geruntur, qui n 



28 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

Numidia relicti a Bestia exercitui prseerant, secuti moreni 
imperatoris sui, plarima et flagiiiosissima facinora fecere. 
Fuere, qui auro corrupti elephantos Jugurthae traderent : 
alii perfugas vendere, pars ex pacatis pr^edas agebant : 
tanta vis avariti^ animos eoram veluti tabes invascrat. 
At Cassius, perlata rogatione a C. Memmio, ac perculs4 
omni nobilitate, ad Jugurtham proficiscitur ; eique timido 
et ex conscientia diffidenti rebus suis persuadet, * quoniam 
se populo Romano dedidisset, ne vim quam misericor- 
diam ejus experiri mallet.' Privatim prseterea fidem 
suam interponit, quam ille non minoris quam publicam 
ducebat. Talis ea tempestate fama de Cassio erat. 

XXXIII. Igitur Jugurtha, contra decus regium, cultu 
quam maxime miserabili cum Cassio Romam venit. Ac 
tametsi in ipso magna vis animi erat, confirmatus ab om- 
nibus, quorum potentia aut scelere cuncta ea gesserat, quoe 
supra diximus C. Bsebium tribunum plebis magna mercede 
parat, cujus impudentia contra jus et injurias omnes mu- 
nitus foret. At C. Memmius, advocata concione, quam- 
quam regi infesta plebes erat, et pars * in vincula duci' 
jubebat, pars, * ni socios sceleris sui aperiret, more ma- 
jorum de hoste supplicium sumi,' dignitati quam irse ma- 
gis consulens, sedare motus, et animos eorum mollire; 
postremo confirmare * fidem publicam per sese inviolatam 
fore.' Post, ubi silentium coepit, producto Jugurtha, verba 
facit ; Romae Numidi^que facinora ejus memorat, scelera 
in patrem fratresque ostendit. 'Quibus juvantibus quibus- 
que ministris ea egerit, quamquam intelligat populus Ro- 
manus, tamen velle manifesta magis ex illo habere. Si 
verum aperiat, in fide^et dementia populi Romani mag- 
nam spem illi sitam : sin reticeat, non sociis saluti fore, 
sed se suasque spes corrupturum.' 



5f 

JUGURTHA. 29 

XXXIV. Deinde, ubi Memmius dicendi finem fecit, el 
Jugurtha respondere jussus est, C Baebius tribunus plebis, 
(|uem pecunia corruptum supra diximus, regem tacere 
jubet : ac tametsi multitudo, quae in concione aderat, 
vohementer accensa terrebat eum clamore, vultu, saepe 
impetu atque aliis omnibus, quae ira fieri amat, vicit tamen 
inipudentia. Ita populus ludibrio habitus ex concione 
discedit : Jugurthae Besti^que et ceteris, quos ilia quaestio 
exagitabat, animi augescunt. 

XXXV. Erat ea tempestate Romae Numida quidam, 
nomine Massiva, Gulussae filius, Masinissae nepos ; qui, 
quia, in dissensione regum Jugurtha adversus fuerat, 
dedita Cirta, et Adherbale interfecto, profugus ex Africa 
abierat. Huic Sp. Albinus, qui proximo anno post Bes- 
tiam cum Q. Minucio Rufo consulatum gerebat, per- 
suadet, * quoniam ex stirpe Masinissae sit, Jugurthamque

quam senescere omnia malebat ; ipsi provincia Numidia, 
Minucio Macedonia evenerat. Quae postquam Massiva 
agitare coepit, neque Jugurtha3 in amicis satis praesidii 
est, quod eorum alium conscientia, alium mala fama et 
timor impediebat, Bomilcari, proximo ac maxime fido 
sibi, imperat, ' pretio,' sicuti multa confecerat, * insidia- 
tores Massivae paret, ac maxime occulte, sin id parum 
procedat, quovis modo Numidam interficiat.' Bomilcar 
mature regis mandata exsequitur; et per homines talis 
negotii artifices itinera egressusque ejus, postremo ioca 
atque tempera cuncta explorat ; deinde, ubi res postula- 
bat, insidias tendit. Igitur unus ex eo numero, qui ad

tantibus et in primis Albino consule, indicium profitetur. 
Fit reus magis ex aequo bonoque quam ex jure gentium 
Bomilcar, comes ejus, qui Romam fide publica venerat. 
At Jugurtha manifestus tanti sceleris non prius omisit 
contra verum niti, quam animum advertit supra gratiam 
atque pecuniam suam invidiam facti esse. Igitur. quam- 
quam in priore actione ex amicis quinquaginta vades 
dederat, regno magis quam vadibus consulens clam in 
Numidiam Bomilcarem dimittit, veritus ne reliquos pop- 
ulares metus invaderet parendi sibi, si de illo supplicium 
sumptum foret, et ipse paucis diebus profectus est, jus 
sus ab senatu Italia decedere. Sed postquam Roma e- 
gressusest,fertur saepe eo tacitus respiciens postremo dix- 
isse : * urbem venalem et mature perituram, si emptorem 
invenerit.' 

XXXVI. Interim Albinus, renovato bello, commea- 
tum, stipendium aliaque, quss militibus usuiforent,maturat

comitia, quod tempus baud longe aberat, armis aut de- 
ditione aut quovis modo bellum conficeret. At contra 
Jugurtha trahere omnia, et alias, deinde alias moras cau- 
sas facere ; polliceri deditionem, ac deinde metum simu- 
lare ; instanti cedere, et paulo post, ne sui diffiderent, 
instare : ita belli modo, modo pacis mora consulem ludi- 
ficare. Ac fuere, qui tum Albinum baud ignarum con- 
silii regis existimarent ; neque ex tanta properantia tarn 
facile tractum bellum socordia magis quam dolo crede- 
rent. Sed postquam, dilapso tempore, comitiorum dies 
adventabat, Albinus, Aulo fratre in castris pro praetore 
relicto, Romam decessit.

Annius, tribuni plebis, resistentibus collegis, coiitinuare 
oiagistratum nitebantur : quae dissensio totius anni comit- 
ia impediebat. Ea mora in spem adductus Aulus, quern 
pro prsetore in castris relictum supra diximus, aut con- 
ficiendi belli aut terrore exercitus ab rege pecuniae capi- 
endae, niilites inense Januario ex hibernis in expeditionem 
evocat, mr.gnisque itineribus, hieme aspera, pervenit ad 
oppidum Suthul, ubi regis thesauri erant. Quod quam- 
quam et saevitia temporis et opportunitate loci neque capi 
neque obsideri poterat ; nam circum murum, situm in 
praerupti montis extreme, planities limosa hiemalibus 
aquis paludem fecerat ; tamen, aut simulandi gratia, quo 
regi formidinem adderet, aut cupidine csecus ob thesauros 
oppidi potiundi, vineas agere, aggerem jafcere, aliaque, 
quae incepto usui forent, properare. 

XXXVIIL At Jugurtha, cognita vanitate atque im- 
peritia legati, subdolus ejus augere amentiam, missitare 
supplicantes legates, ipse quasi vitabundus per saltuosa 
loca et tramites exercitum ductare. Denique Aulum 
spe pactionis perpulit, uti, relicto Suthule, in abditas re- 
giones sese veluti cedentem insequeretur: * ita delicta 
occultiora fore.' Interea per homines callidos die noc- 
tuque exercitum tentabat; centuriones ducesque turma- 
rum, partim uti transfugerent, corrumpere ; alii, signo 
date, locum uti desererent. Quae postquam ex senten- 
tia instruit, intempesta nocte de improviso multitu- 
dine Numidarum Auli castra circumvenit. MiUtes Ro- 
mani, perculsi tumuUu insolito, arma capere ahi, alii se 
abdere, pars territos confirmare; trepidare omnibus locis* 
vis magna hostium, coelum nocte atque nubibus obscu- 
ratum, periculum anceps : postremo fugere an manere 
tutius foret, in incerto erat. Sed ex eo numero, quos

32 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

paulo ante corruptos diximus, cohors una Ligurum cum 
duabus turmis Thracum et panels gregariis militibus 
transiere ad regem, et centurio primi pili tertiae legionis 
per munitionem, quam, uti defenderet, acceperat, locum 
hostibus introeundi dedit, eaque Numidse cuncti irru- 
pere. Nostri foeda fuga, plerique abjectis armis proxi- 
mum coUem occupavere. Nox atque praeda castrorum 
hostes, quo minus victoria uterentur, remorata sunt. De- 
lude Jugurtha postero die cum Aulo in colloquio verba 
facit : ' tametsi ipsum cum exercitu fame ferroque clau- 
sum tenet, tamen se humanarum rerum memorem, si se- 
cum foedus faceret, incoluraes omnes sub jugum missu- 
rum: praeterea, uti diebus decem Numidia decederet.' 
Quae quamquam gravia et flagitii plena erant, tamen, 
quia mortis metu mutabant, sicuti regi libuerat, pax con- 
venit. 

XXXIX. Sed ubi ea Romae comperta sunt, metus at- 
que moeror civitatem invasere. Pars dolere pro gloria 
imperii, pars insolita rerum bellicarum timere libertati : 
Aulo omnes infesti, ac maxime, qui bello sagpe praectari 
fuerant, quod armatus dedecore potiiis quam manu 
salutem quaesiverat. Ob ea consul Albinus ex delicto 
fratris invidiam ac deinde periculum timens, senatum 
de foedere consulebat; et tamen interim exercitui sup- 
plementum scribere, ab sociis et nomine Latino auxilia 
arcessere, denique modis omnibus festinare. Senatus 
ita, uti par fuerat, decernit, * suo atque populi injussu 
nullum potuisse foedus fieri.' Consul impeditus a tribu 
nis plebis, ne, quas paraverat copias, secum portaret. 
paucis diebus in Africam proficiscitur : nam *omnis ex- 
ercitus, uti convenerat, Numidia deductus, in prcvmcia 
hiemabat. Postquam eo venit, quamquam persequi Ju 



JUGURTHA. 33 

gurth^ni et mederi fraternse invidiae animus ardebat, 
cognitis militibus, quos praeter fugam, soluto imperio, 
liccntia atque lascivia corruperat, ex copia rerum statuit 
sibi nihil agitandum. 

XL. Interea Romae C. Mamilius Limetanus tribunus 
plebis rogationem ad populum promulgat, * Uti quaerere- 
tur in eos, quorum consilio Jugurtha senati decreta neg- 
lexisset; quique ab eo in legationibus aut imperiis pecu- 
nias accepissent; qui elephantos, quique perfugas tradidis- 
sent; item, qui de pace aut bello cum hostibus pactiones 
fecissent.' Huic rogationi partim conscii sibi, alii ex par- 
tium invidia pericula metuentes, quoniam aperte resistere 
non poterant, quin ilia et alia talia placere sibi faterentur, 
occulte per amicos, ac maxime per homines nominis La- 
tini et socios Italicos impedimenta parabant. Sed plebes 
incredibile memoratu est, quam intenta fuerit, quantaque 
vi rogationem jusserit, decreverit, voluerit, magis odio 
nobilitatis, cui mala ilia parabantur, quam cura reipublicae: 
tanta libido in partibus erat. Igitur ceteris metu percul- 
sis, M. Scaurus, quern legatum Bestiae fuisse supra docui- 
mus, inter laetitiam plebis et suorum fugam, trepida etiam- 
tum civitate, quum ex Mamilii rogatione tres quaesitores 
rogarentur, effecerat, uti ipse in eo numero crearetur. 
Sed quaestio exercita aspere violenterque, ex rumore et 
libidine plebis. Ut sJBpe nobihtatem, sic ea tempestate 
plebem ex secundis rebus insolentia ceperat. 

XLL Ceterum mos partium popularium et senati fac- 
tionum, ac deinde omnium malarum artium, paucis ante 
annis Romae ortus est, otio et abundantia earum rerum, 
quae prima mortales ducunt. Nam ante Carthaginem 
deletam populus et senatus Romanus placide modesteque 
inter se rempublicam tractabant : neque gloriae neque 



34 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

dominationis certamen inter cives erat : metus hostilis ir* 
Donis artibus civitatem retinebat. Sed ubi ilia formido 
mentibus decessit, scilicet ea, quae secundae res amant, 
lascivia atque superbia incessere. Ita, quod in adversis 
rebus optaverant otium, postquam adepti sunt, asperius 
acerbiusque fuit. Namque coepere nobilitas dignitatem 
in dominationem, populus libertatem in libidinem vertere: 
sibi quisque ducere, trahere, rapere. Ita omnia in duas 
'partes abstracta sunt ; respublica, quae media fuerat, 
dilacerata. Ceterum nobilitas factione magis pollebat; 
plebis vis, soluta atque dispersa in multitudine, minus 
poterat. Paucorum arbitrio belli domique agitabatur; 
penes eosdem serarium, provincise, magistratus, glorise 
triumphique erant; populus militia atque inopia urgeba- 
tur. Praedas bellicas imperatores cum paucis diripiebant: 
interea parentes aut parvi liberi militum, ut quisque po- 
tentiori confinis erat, sedibus pellebantur. Ita cum po- 
tentia avaritia sine modo modestiaque invadere, polluere 
et vastare omnia, nihil pensi neque sancti habere, quoad 
semet ipsa prsecipitavit. Nam ubi primum ex nobilitate 
reperti sunt, qui veram gloriam injustaepotenti^ antepon- 
erent, moveri^ civitas, et dissensio civiUs, quasi permix- 
tio terrae, oriri ccepit. 

XLII. Nam postquam Tiberius et C. Gracchus, quorum 
majores Punico atque aliis belHs multum reipublicae ad- 
diderant, vindicare plebem in libertatem, et paucorum 
scelera patefacere coepere, nobilitas noxia, atque eo per- 
culsa, modo per socios ac nomen Latinum, interdum per 
equites Romanes, quos spes societatis a plebe dimoverat, 
Gracchorum actionibus obviam ierat; et prim.6 Tiberi- 
um, dein paucos post annos eadem ingredientem Caium

dis. cum M. Fulvio Flaccc> ferro necaverat. Et sane 
Gro.cchis cupidine victorise haud satis modoratus animus 
fuit : sed bono vinci satius est, quam malo more injuriam 
vincere. Igitur ea victoria nobilitas ex libidine sua usa.^ 
muitos mortales ferro aut fuga exstinxit ; plusque in rel- 
iquum sibi timoris quam potentiae addidit. Quae res 
plerumque magnas civitates pessum dedit, dum alteri 
alteros vincere quovis modo, et victos acerbiiis ulcisci 
volunt. Sed de studiis partium et omnis civitatis moribus 
si singulatim aut pro magnitudine parem diserere, tempus 
quam res ^turius me de^ergt : quamobrem ad inceptum 
redeo. ft^ /^ ;'^- 1^ . ' - ^ ^-- 

XLIII. Post Auli Tcedus exercitusque nostri foedam 
fugam, Q. Metellus et M. Silanus, consules designati, pro- 
vincias inter se partiverant, Metelloque Numidia evene- 
rat, acri viro, et, quamquam adverso populi partium, fama 
tamen eequabili et inviolata. Is ubi primiim magistratum 
ingressus est, alia omnia sibi cum collega ratus, ad bel- 
lum, quod gesturus erat, animum intendit. Igitur diffi- 
dens veteri exercitui, milites scribere, pracsidia undique 
arcessere, arma, tela, equos et cetera instrumenta militige 
parare, ad hoc commeatum affatim, denique omnia, 
quae in bello vario et multarum rerum egenti usui esse so- 
lent. Ceierum ad ea patranda,^enatus auctoritate socii 
nomenque Latinum et reges ultro auxilia mittere ; postre- 
mo omnis civitas summo studio adnitebatur. Itaque, 
ex sententia omnibus rebus paratis compositisque, in 
Numidiam proficiscitur magna spe civium, quum prop- 
ter bonas artes, tum maxime, quod adversiim divitias 
mvictum animum gerebat ; et avaritia magistratuum ante 
id tempus in Numidia nostrae opes contusae, hostiumque 

'xuctae erant.

XLIV. Sed ubi in Africam venit, exercitus ei tradi 
tur Sp. Albini proconsulis iners, imbellis, neque periculi 
neque laboris patiens, lingua quam manu promptior 
praedator ex sociis et ipse prseda hostium, sine imperio 
et modestia habitus. Ita imperatori novo plos ex malis 
moribus sollicituoinis, qdam ex copia militum auxilii 
aut bon^ spei accedebat. Statuit tamen Metellus, quam- 
quam et Eestivorum tempus comitiorum mora imminue- 
rat, et exspectatione eventus civium animos intentos 
putabat, non prius bellum attingere, quam majorum dis- 
ciplina milites laborare coegisset. Nam Albinus, Auli 
fratris exercitusque clade perculsus, postquam decreverat 
non egredi provincia, quantum temporis sestivorum in 
imperio fuit, plerumque milites stativis castris habebat ; 
nisi quum odos aut pabuli egestas ^pcum mutara subeg- 
erat. Sed neque muniebantur ea, neque more militari 
vigiliae deducebantur : uti cuique libebat, ab signis abe- 
rat. Lixae permixti cum militibus die noctuque vaga- 
bantur, et palantes agros vastare, villas expugnare, pec- 
oris et mancipiorum praedas certantes agere, eaque mutare 
cum mercatoribus vino advectitio et aliis talibus ; pras- 
terea frumentum publice datum vendere, panem in dies 
mercari : postremo, quaecumque dici aut fingi queunt 
ignavice luxuriaeque probra, in illo exercitu cuncta fuere, 
et alia amplius. 

XLV. Sed in ea difRcultate Metellum non minus 
quam in rebus hostilibus magnum et sapientem viium 
fuisse comperior, tanta temperantia inter ambitionem 
saeviiiamque moderatum. Namque edicto primum ad- 
jumenta ignaviae sustulisse; * ne quisquam in castris 
panem aut quem alium coctum cibum venderet ; ne 
lixjE exercitum sequerentur ; ne miles gregarius in cas

tris neve in agmine servum aut jumentum haberet :' cet- 
eris arte^ modum statuisse. Prasterea transversis itineri- 
bus quotidie castra movere, juxta ac si liostes adessent, 
vallo atque fossa munire, vigilias crebras ponere, et eas 
ipse cum legatis circumire: item in agmine in primis 
modo, modo in postremis, ssepe in medio adesse, ne quis- 
quam ordine egrederetur, uti cum signis frequentes incede- 
rent, miles cibum et arma portaret. Ita prohibendo a 
delictis magis quam vindicando exercitum brevi con- 
firmavit. 

XLVI. Interea Jugurtha, ubi, quss Metellus agebat, ex 
nuntiis accepit, simul de innocentia ejus certior Roma 
factus, diffidere suis rebus; ac tum demum veramdedit- 
ionem facere conatus est. Igitur legates ad consulem 
C'7m suppliciis mittit, qui tantummodo ipsi liberisque vitam 
peterent, alia omnia dederent populo Romano. Sed Me- 
tello jam antea experimentis cognitum erat genus Numi- 
darum infidum, ingenio mobili, novarum rerum avidum 
esse. Itaque legates alium ab alio diversos aggreditur ; 
ac paulatim tentando, postquam opportunos sibi cognovit, 
multa pollicendo persuadet, * uti Jugurtham maxime vivum, 
sin id parum procedat, necatum sibi traderent :' ceterum 
palam, quas ex voluntate forent, regi nuntiari jubet. De- 
inde ipse paucis diebus, intento atque infesto exercitu, in 
Numidiam procedit; ubi, contra belli faciem, tuguria plena 
hominum, pecora cultoresque in agris erant; ex oppidis 
et mapalibus pra^fecti regis obvii procedebant, parati fru- 
mentum dare, commeatum portare, postremo omnia, quae 
•jmperarentur, facere. Neque Metellus idcirco minus, sed 
pariter ac si hostes adessent, munito agmine incedere, late 
explorare omnia, ilia deditionis signa ostentui credere, et 
insidiis locum tentari. Itaque ipse cum expeditis cohorti- 



38 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

bus, item funditorum et sagittariorum delecta manu apiid 
primos erat; in postremo C. Marius legatus cum equitibus 
curabat: in utrumque latus auxiliaries equites tribunis 
legionum et prsefectis cohortium dispertiverat, uti cum his 
permixti velites, quacunque accederent equitatus hostiuni^ 
propulsarent. Nam in Jugurtha tantus dolus tantaque pei- 
itia locorum et militise erat, ut, absens an praesens, pacem 
an bellum gerens perniciosior esset, in incerto haberetur. 

XLVIL Erat baud longe ab eo itinere, quo Metellus 
pergebat, oppidum Numidarum, nomine Vacca, forum 
rerum venalium totius regni maxime celebratum ; ubi 
et incolere et mercari consueverant Italici generis multi 
mortales. Hue consul, simul tentandi gratia, et, si pate- 
rentur, opportunitate loci prsesidium imposuit ; prsetereu 
>mperavit frumentum et alia, quoe bello usui forent, com- 
oortare ; ratus, id quod res monebat, frequentiam nego- 
Jiiatorura et commeatum juvaturum exercitum, et jam 
paratis rebus munimento fore. Inter h^c negotia Jugur- 
tha impensius modo legatos supplices mittere, paceu] 
orare, prseter suam liberorumque vitam omnia Metello 
dedere. Quos item, uti priores, consul illectos ad prodit- 
ionem domum dimittebat : regi pacem, quam postulabat, 
neque abnuere neque polliceri, et inter eas moras pro- 
missa legatorum exspectare. 

XLVIII. Jugurtha ubi Metelli dicta cum factis com- 
posuit, ac se suis artibus tentari animadvertit ; quippe 
cui verbis pax nuntiabatur, ceteriim re bellum asperri- 
mum erat, urbs maxima alienata, ager hostibus cognitus, 
animi popularium tentati ; coactus rerum necessitudine, 
statuit armis certare. Igitur explorato hostium itinere, 
m spem victorias adductus ex opportunitate loci, quam 
maximas potest copias omnium generum parat, ac pei 



JUGURTHA. 39 

tramites occultos exercitum Metelli antevenit. Erat in 
ea parte Numidife, quam Adherbal in divisione possede- 
rat, flumen oriens a meridie, nomine Muthul ; a quo ab- 
erat mens ferme millia viginti, tractu pari, vastus ab 
natura et humano cultu: sed ex eo medio quasi coUis 
oriebatur, in immensum pertingens, vestitus oleastro ac 
myrtetis aliisque generibus arborum, quae humi arido 
atque arenoso gignuntur. Media autem planities deserta 
penuria aquae, prseter flumini propinqua loca ; ea consita 
arbustis pecore atque cultoribus frequentabantur. 

XLIX. Igitur in eo colle, quem transverso itinere 
porrectum docuimus, Jugurtha, extenuata suorum acie, 
consedit : elephantis et parti copiarum pedestrium Bo- 
milcarem prsefecit, eumque edocet, quae ageret ; ipse pro- 
pior montem cum omni equitatu pedites delectos coUo- 
cat : dein singulas turmas atque manipulos circumiens 
monet atque obtestatur, * uti memores pristinae virtutis 
et victoriae sese regnumque suum ab Romanorum ava- 
ritia defendant : cum his certamen fore, quos antea vic- 
tos sub jugum miserint : ducem illis, non animum muta- 
tum. Quae ab imperatore decuerint, omnia suis provisa ; 
locum superiorem, uti prudentes cum imperitis, ne pau- 
ciores cum pluribus, aut rudes cum bello melioribus ma- 
num consererent. Proinde parati intentique essent, signo 
dato, Romanes invadere : ilium diem aut omnes labores 
et victorias confirmaturum, aut maximarum aerumnarum 
initium fore.' Ad hoc viritim, uti quemque ob militare 
facinus pecunia aut honore extulerat, commonefacere 
beneficii sui, et eum ipsum aliis ostentare : postremo 
pro cujusque ingenio, pollicendo, minitando, obtestando 
alium alio modo excitare ; quum interim Metellus, igna 
rus hostium, monte degrediens cum exercitu, conspica*

tur, primo dubius, quidnam insolita facies ostenderet, 
(nam inter virgulta equi Numidseque consederant, nequa 
plane occultati humilitate arborum, et tamen incerti, 
quidnam esset, quum natura loci, turn dolo ipsi atque 
signa militaria obscurati); dein, brevi cognitis insidiis, 
paulisper agmen constituit. Ibi commutatis ordinibus, 
in dextero latere, quod proximum hostes erat, triplicibus 
subsidiis aciem instruxit; inter manipulos funditores et 
sagittarios dispertit, equitatum omnem in cornibus local, 
ac pauca pro tempore milites hortatus, aciem, sicuti in- 
struxerat, transversis principiis, in planum deducit. 

L. Sed ubi Numidas quietos, neque colle degredi ani- 
madvertit, veritus ex anni tempore et inopia aquas, ne 
siti conficeretur exercitus, Rutilium legatum cum expe- 
ditis cohortibus et parte equitum prsemisit ad flumen, uti 
locum castris antecaperet; existimans hostes crebro im- 
petu et transversis proeliis iter suum remoraturos, et, quo- 
niam armis diffiderent, lassitudinem et sitim militum 
tentaturos. Deinde ipse pro re atque loco, sicuti monte 
descenderat, paulatim procedere : Marium post principia 
habere : ipse cum sinistrse alse equitibus esse, qui in ag- 
mine principes facti erant. .^ At Jugurtha, ubi extremum 
agmen Metelli primos suos prsetergressum videt, praesidio 
quasi duum millium peditum montem occupat, qua Me- 
tellus descenderat, ne forte cedentibus adversariis recep- 
tui ac post munimento foret ; dein repente, signo dato, 
hostes invadit; Numidse, alii postremos casdere, pars a 
sinistra ac dextera tentare, infensi adesse atque instare, 
omnibus locis Romanorum ordines conturbare ; quorum 
etiam qui firmioribus animis obvii hostibus fuerant, ludi- 
fjcati incerto proelio, ipsi modo eminus sauciabantur 
neque contra feriendi aut manum conserendi copia erat. 



JUGURTHA. 4J 

Antea jam docti ab Jugurtha equites, ubicumque Rom- 
anorum turma insequi cceperat, non confertim, neque 
in unum sese recipiebant, sed alius alio quam maxime 
diversi. Ita numero priores, si a persequendo hostes de- 
terrere nequiverant, disjectos ab tergo aut lateribus cir- 
cumveniebant : sin opportunior fugae collis, quam campi 
fuerant, ea vero consueti Numidarum equi facile inter 
virgulta evadere ; nostros asperitas et insolentia loci reti- 
ncbat. 

LI. Ceterum facies totius negotii varia, incerta, fceda 
atque miserabilis : dispersi a suis, pars cedere, alii inse- 
qui ; neque signa neque ordines observare ; ubi quem- 
que periculum ceperat, ibi resistero ac propulsare : arma 
tela, equi viri, hostes atque cives permixti ; nihil consilio 
neque imperio agi; fors omnia regere. Itaque multum 
diei processerat, quum etiamtum eventus in incerto erat. 
Denique omnibus labore et sestu languidis, Metellus, ubi 
videt Numidas minus instare, paulatim milites in unum 
conducit, ordines restituit, et cohortes legionarias quatuor 
adversum pedites hostium collocat. Eorum magna pars 
superioribus locis fessa consederat. Simul orare, hortari 
milites, ' ne deficerent, neu paterentur hostes fugientes 
vincere: neque illis castra esse, neque munimentum ullum, 
quo cedentes tenderent : in armis omnia sita.' Sed nee 
Jugurtha quidem interea quietus erat ; circumire, hortari, 
renovare proelium, et ipse cum delectis tentare omnia, 
sub venire suis, hostibus dubiis instare, quosfirmoscognov- 
erat, eminus pugnando retinere. 

LIL Eo modo inter se duo imperatores, summi viri; 
certabant, ipsi pares, ceterum opibus disparibus : nam 
Metello virtus militum erat, locus adversus; Jugurthae 
alia omnia praeter milites opportuna. Denique Ro-

mani, ubi intelligunt neque sibi perfugium esse, neque 
ah hoste copiam pugnandi fieri, et jam die vesper erat, 
adverse coUe, sicuti prseceptum fuerat, evadunt. Amisso 
loco, JMumidse fusi fugatique : pauci interiere, plerosque 
velocitas et regio hostibus ignara tutata sunt. Interea 
Bomilcar, quern elephantis et parti copiaium pedestriurn 
prasfectum ab Jugurtha supra diximus, ubi eum Rutilius 
praetergressus est, paulatim sues in asquum locum dedu- 
cit : ac, dum legatus ad flumen, quo praemissus erat, fes- 
tinans pergit, quietus, uti res postulabat,'aciem exornat; 
neque remittit, quid ubique hostis ageret, explorare. 
Postquam Rutilium consedisse jam, et animo vacuum 
accepit, simulque ex Jugurthae proelio clamorem augeri, 
veritus, ne legatus, cognita re, laborantibus suis auxilio 
foret, aciem, quam, diffidens virtuti militum, arte statue- 
rat, quo hostium itineri ofRceret, latius porrigit, eoque 
modo ad Rutilii castra procedit. 

LIII. Romani ex improviso pulveris vim magnam an- 
imadvertunt, nam prospectum ager arbustis consitus 
prohibebat; et primo rati humum aridam vento agita- 
ri ; post, ubi jequabilem manere, et, sicuti acies move- 
batur, magis magisque appropinquare vident, cognita 
re, properantes arma capiunt, ac pro castris, sicuti im- 
perabatur, cor«Mstunt. Deinde, ubi propius ventum est, 
utrimque magn:) clamore concurritur. Numidae tantum 
modo remorati, dum in elephantis auxilium putant, post- 
quam eos imped itos ramis arborum, atque ita disjectos 
circumveniri vident, fugam faciunt, ac plerique, abjectis 
armis, collis riut noctis quae jam aderat, auxilio integri 
ubeunt. Elr.piianti quatuor capti, reliqui omnes, nu- 
mero quadraginta, interfecti. At Romani, quamquam

erant, tamen, quod Metellus amplius opinioiie inoraba- 
tur, instruct! intentique obviam procedunt: nam dolus 
Numidarum nihil languid! neque remissi patiebatur. 
Ac primo, obscura nocte, postquam baud procul inter se 
erant, strepitu, velut hostes, adventare, alteri apud alteros 
forrnidinem simul et tumultum facere: et pene impru- 
dentia admissum facinus miserabile, ni utrimque prae- 
missi equites rem exploravissent. Igitur pro metu re- 
pente gaudium exortum ; milites alius alium Iseti appel- 
lant, acta edocent atque audiunt ; sua quisque fortia facta 
ad coelum ferre. Quippe res humanee ita sese habent: 
in victoria vel ignavis gloriari licet ; adversag res etiam 
bonos detrectant. 

LIV. Metellus, in iisdem castris quatriduo moratus, 
saucios cum cura reficit, meritos in proeliis more militias 
donat, universos in concione laudat, atque agit gratias : 
hortatur, ' ad cetera, quae levia sunt, parem animum 
gerant : pro victoria satis jam pugnatum, reliquos labo- 
res pro praeda fore.' Tamen interim transfugas et alios 
opportunos, Jugurtha ubi gentium, aut quid agitaret, cum 
paucisne esset, an exercitum haberet, uti sese victus 
gereret, exploratum misit. At ille sese in loca saltuosa 
et natura munita receperat, ibique cogebat exercitum 
numero hominum ampliorem, sed hebetem infirmumque, 
agri ac pecoris magis quam belli cultorem. Id ea gra- 
tia eveniebat, quod praeter regies equites nemo omnium 
Mumidarum ex fuga regem sequitur; quo cujusque an- 
jmus fert, eo discedunt, neque id flagitium militiae du- 
:itur; ita se mores habent. Igitur Metellus ubi videt 
iliamtum regis animum ferocem esse, bellum renovari, 
quod nisi ex illius libidine geri non posset, praeterea 
iniquum certamen sibi cum hostibus, minore detrimento 



44 G. CRTSPI SALLUSTIl 

illos vinci, quam suos vincere, statuit non proeliis neque 
acie, sed alio more bellum gerendum. Itaque in Nu- 
midia3 loca opulentissima pergit, agros vastat, multa cas- 
tella et oppida, temere munita aut sine pragsidio, capit 
incenditque ; puberes interfici jubet, alia omnia militum 
prsedam esse. Ea formidine multi mortales Romania 
dediti obsides; frumentum et alia, quae usui forent, af 
fatim prsebita ; ubicumque res postulabat, praesidium im- 
positum. Quae negotia multo magis, quam proelium male 
pugnatum ab suis, regem terrebant: quippe cui spes 
omnis in fuga sita erat, sequi cogebatur ; et, qui sua loca 
defendere nequiverat, in alienis bellum gerere. Tamen 
ex copia, quod optimum videbatur, consilium capit: ex- 
ercitum plerumque in iisdem locis opperiri jubet; ipse 
cum delectis equitibus Metellum sequitur, nocturnis et 
aviis itineribus ignoratus Romanos palantes repente ag- 
greditur. Eorum plerique inermes cadunt, multi capi- 
untur, nemo omnium intactus profugit; et Numidias, 
priusquam ex castris subveniretur, sicuti jussi erant, in 
proximos colles discedunt. 

LV. Interim Romas gaudium ingens ortum, cognitis 
Metelli rebus; ut seque et exercitum more majorum 
gereret, in adverso loco victor tamen virtute fuisset, 
hostium agro potiretur, Jugurtham, magnificum ex Auli 
socordia, spem salutis in solitudine aut fuga coegisset 
habere. Itaque senatus ob ea feliciter acta dis immor 
talibus supplicia decernere ; civitas, trepida antea et sol 
licita de belli eventu, laeta agere ; de Metello fama prae- 
clara esse. Igitur eo intentior ad victoriam niti, omnibus 
modis festinare ; cavere tamen, necubi hosti opportunus 
fieret; meminisse, post gloriam invidiam sequi. Ita quo 
ciarior eo magis anxius erat, neque post insidias Ju- 



JUGURTHA 45 

gurthae efFuso exeicitu prasdari: ubi frumento aut pab- 
ulo opus erat, cohortes cum oQini equitatu praesidium 
agitabant : exercitus partem ipse, reliquos Marius duce- 
bat. Sed igni magis quam prasda ager vastabatur. Du- 
obus locis haud longe inter se castra faciebant: ubi vi 
opus erat, cuncti aderant ; ceterum, quo fuga atque for- 
mido .atiiis cresceret, diversi agebant. Eo tempore Ju- 
gurtha per colles sequi, tempus aut locum pugnas qussr- 
ere, qua venturum hostem audierat, pabulum et aquarum 
fontes, quorum 'penuria erat, corrumpere, modo se Metello, 
interdum Mario ostendere, postremos in agmine tentare, 
ac statim in colles regredi, rursus aliis, post aliis mini- 
tari,neque proelium facere, neque otium pati, tantummodo 
hostem ab incepto retinere. 

LVI. Romanus imperator ubi se dolis fatigari videt, 
neque ab hoste copiam pugnandi fieri, urbem magnam 
et in ea parte, qua sita erat, arcem regni, nomine Za- 
mam, statuit oppugnare ; ratus, id quod negotium posce- 
bat, Jugurtham laborantibus suis auxilio venturum, ibique 
proelium fore. At ille, quae parabantur, a perfugis edoc- 
tus, magnis itineribus Metellum antevenit; oppidanos 
hortatur, ' moenia defendant ;' additis auxilio perfugis, 
quod genus ex copiis regis, quia fallere nequibat, jfirmis- 
simum erat : praeterea pollicetur, ' in tempore semet cum 
exercitu affore.' Ita compositis rebus, in loca quam 
maxime occulta discedit, ac post paulo cognoscit Mari- 
um ex itinere frumentatum cum paucis cohortibus Sic- 
cam missum ; quod oppidum primum omnium post ma- 
lam pugnam ab rege defecerat. E6 cum delectis equiti- 
bus noctu pergit, et jam egredientibus Romanis, in porta 
pugnam facit: simul magna voce Siccenses hortatur 
* nti cohortes ab tergo circumveniant : fortunam illis prae 



46 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

clari facinoris casum dare. Si id fecerint, postea seso in 
regno, illos in libertate sine metu astatem acturos.' Ac 
ni Marius signa inferre atque evadere oppido properavis- 
set, profecto cuncti aut magna pars Siccensium fidem 
mutavissent: tanta mobilitate sese Numidae agunt. Sed 
milites Jugurthini, paulisper ab rege sustentati, posiquam 
majore vi hostes urgent, paucis amissis, profugi disce- 
dunt. 

LVII. Marius ad Zamam pervenit. Id oppidum, in 
campo situm, magis opere quam natura munitum erat, 
nullius idonese rei egens, armis virisque opulentum. Igi- 
tur Metellus, pro tempore atque loco paratis rebus, cuncta 
moenia exercitu circumvenit; legatis imperat, ubi quis- 
que curaret; deinde, signo date, undique simul clamor 
ingens oritur. Neque ea res Numidas terret ; infensi 
intentique sine tumultu manent. Prcelium incipitur. 
Romani, pro ingenio quisque, pars eminus glande aut 
lapidibus pugnare, alii succedere, ac murum modo suf- 
fodere, modo scalis aggredi, cupere proelium manibus 
facere. Contra ea oppidani in proximos saxa volvere ; 
sudes, pila, preeterea pice et sulphure taedam mixtam, 
ardenti mittere. Sed ne illos quidem, qui procul manse- 
rant, timer animi satis muniverat : nam plerosque jacula 
tormentis aut manu emissa vulnerabant; pariqueperic- 
ulo, sed fama imparl boni atque ignavi erant. 

LVIII. Dum apud Zamam sic certatur, Jugurtha ex 
improvise castra hostium cum magna manu invadit: 
remissis, qui in prsesidio erant, et omnia magis quam 
prcElium exspectantibus, portam irrumpit. At nostri, 
repentino metu perculsi, sibi quisque pro moribus con- 
sulunt : alii fugere, alii arma capere ; magna pars vul- 
nerati aut occisi. Ceterum ex omni multitudine non 



JUGURTHA. 47 

amplius quadraginta, memores nominis Romani, grege 
facto, locum cepere pauIo quam alii editiorem, neque 
inde maxima vi depelli quiverunt, sed tela eminus missa 
remittere, pauci in pluribus minus frustrati : sin Numidce 
propius accessissent, ibi vero virtutem ostendere, et eos 
maxima vi csedere, fundere atque fugare. Interim Me- 
tellus, quum acerrime rem gereret, clamorem hostilem ab 
tergo accepit : deinde, converso equo, animadvertit fugam 
ad se versum fieri ; . qu£e res indicabat populares esse. 
Igitur equitatum omnem ad castra propere mittit, ac 
statim C. Marium cum cohortibus sociorum ; eumque lac- 
rymans per amicitiam perque rempublicam obsecrat, *ne 
quam contumeliam remanere in exercitu victore, neve 
hostes inultos abire sinat.' Ille brevi mandata efiicit. 
At Jugurtha munimento castrorum impeditus, quum alii 
super vallum prsecipitarentur, alii in angustiis ipsi sibi 
properantes officerent, multis amissis, in loca munita 
sese recepit. Metellus, infecto negotio, postquam nox 
aderat, in castra cum exercitu revertitur. 

LIX. Igitur postero die, priiis quam ad oppugnandum 
egrederetur, equitatum omnem in ea parte, qua regis ad- 
ventus erat, pro castris agitare jubet ; portas et proxima 
loca tribunis dispertit; deinde ipse pergit ad oppidum, 
atque, ut superiore die, murum aggreditur. Interim Ju- 
gurtha ex occulto repente nostros invadit. Qui in prox- 
imo locati fuerant, paulisper territi perturbantur ; reliqui 
cito subveniunt, neque diutius Numidas resistere quivis- 
sent, ni pedites cum equitibus permixti magnam cladem 
in congressu facerent. Quibus illi freti, non, ut equestri 
prcelio solet, sequi, dein cedere, sed adversis equis con- 
currere, implicare ac perturbare aciem : ita expeditis 

i;)editibus suis hostes pene victos dare.

I X. Eodem tempore apud Zamam magna vi certaba- 
tur. Ubi quisque legatus aut tribunus curabat, eo acer- 
rime niti ; neque alius in alio magis quam in sese spem 
habere : pariterque oppidani agere. Oppugnare, aut pa- 
rare oinnibus locis : avidius alteri alteros sauciare, quam 
semet tegere: clamor permixtus hortatione, lsetitia,gemitu, 
item strepitus armorum ad coelum ferri, tela utrimque 
i^olare. Sed illi, qui mcenia defensabant, ubi hostes 
paulum modo pugnam remiserant, intenti proelium eques- 
tre prospectabant. Eos, uti quasque Jugurthas res erant, 
laetos modo, modo pavidos animadvcrteres ; ac sicuti 
audiri a suis aut cerni possent, monere alii, alii hortari, 
•lut manu significare, aut niti corporibus, et ea hue illuc, 
quasi vitabundi aut jacientes tela, agitare. Quod ubi 
Mario cognitum est, (nam is in ea parte curabat), con- 
sulto lenius agere, ac diffidentiam rei simulare; pati Nu- 
midas sine tumultu regis proelium visere. Ita, illis studio 
suorum adstrictis, repente magna vi murum aggreditur; 
ct jam scaHs egressi milites prope summa ceperant, 
quum oppidani concurrunt, lapides, ignem, alia praeterea 
tela ingerunt. Nostri primo resistere; deinde, ubi unae 
atque alterae scalas comminutse, qui supersteterant, afflicti 
sunt; ceteri quoquo modo potuere, pauci integri, magna 
pars confecti vulneribus abeunt. Denique utrimque proe- 
lium nox diremit. 

LXL Metellus postquam videt frustra inceptum, ne- 
que oppidum capi, neque Jugurtham nisi ex insidiis aut 
suo loco pugnam facere, et jam sestatem exactam esse, 
ab Zama discedit, ct in his urbibus, quas ad se defece- 
tant, satisque munifce loco aut mcrnibus erant, praesidia 
imponit: ceterum excfcitum in prvninciam, quae proxima 
est Numidiae, hiemandi gratia cok-ooat Nequ^ id tern- 



JUGURTHA. 49 

pus ex aliorum more quieti aut luxurise concedit; sed, 
quoniam armis bellam parum procedebat, insidias regi 
per amicos tendere, et eorum perfidia pro armis uti parat. 
Igitar Bomilcarem, qui Romae cum Jugurtha fuerat, et 
inde, vadibus datis, clam de Massivse nece judicium fu- 
geiat, quod ei per maximam amicitiam maxima copia 
fallendi erat, multis pollicitationibus aggreditur. Ac pri- 
me efficit, uti ad se colloquendi gratia occultus veniat: 
deinde fide data, ' si Jugurtham vivum aut necatum tradi- 
disset, fore, ut illi senatus impunitatem et sua omnia con- 
cederet,' facile Numidse persuadet, quum ingenio infido, 
tum metuenti, ne, si pax cum Romanis fieret, ipse per 
conditiones ad supplicium traderetur. 

LXII. Is, ubi primum opportunum fuit, Jugurtham anx- 
ium ac miserantem fortunas suas accedit ; monet atque 
lacrymans obtestatur, ' uti aliquando sibi liberisque et 
genti Numidarum optime merenti provideat: omnibus 
prceliis sese victos, agrum vastatum, multos mortales 
captos aut occisos, regni opes comminutas esse : satis 
saepe jam et virtutem militum et fortunam tentatam : 
caveat, ne, illo cunctante, Numidss sibi consulant.' His 
atque talibus aliis ad deditionem regis animum impellit. 
Mittuntur ad imperatorem legati, qui ' Jugurtham impe- 
rata facturum' dicerent, * ac sine ulla pactione sese reg- 
numque suum in illius fidem tradere.' Metellus propere 
cunctos senatorii ordinis ex hibernis arcessiri jubet : eo- 
rum atque aliorum, quos idoneos ducebat, consilium habet. 
Ita more majorum ex consilii decreto per legatos Jugur- 
ihae imperat argenti pondo ducenta millia, elephantos 
omnes, equorum et armorum aliquantum. Quae postquam 
sine mora facta sunt, jubet ' omnes perfugas vinctos ad 
ducL' Eorum magna pars, ut jussum erat, adducti: 



50 ^ C. CRISPl SALLUSTII 

pauci, quum primum deditio coepit, ad regem Bocchum 
in Mauretaniam abierant. Igitur Jugurtha, ubi armis vi- 
risque et pecunia spoliatus est, quum ipse ad imperandum 
Tisidium vocaretur, rursus coepit flectere animurn suum, 
et ex mala conscientia digna timere. Denique multis 
diebus per dubitationem consumptis, quum modo tsedio 
rerum adversarum omnia bello potiora duceret, interdum 
secum ipse reputaret, quam gravis casus in servitium ex 
regno foret, multis magnisque preesidiis nequidquam per- 
ditis, de integro bellum sumit. Et Romae senatus de pro- 
vinciis consultus Numidiam Metello decreverat. 

LXIII. Per idem tempus Utic^e forte C. Mario per 
hostias dis supplicanti magna atque mirabilia portendi' 
haruspex dixerat : ' proinde, quse animo agitabat, fretus 
dis ageret; fortunam quam ssepissime experiretur, cuncta 
prospera e ventura.' At ilium jam antea consulatus in- 
gens cupido exagitabat, ad quem cqpiendum prseter ve- 
tustatem famiiise alia omnia abunde erant, industria, 
probitas, militise magna scientia, animus belli ingens, 
domi modicus, libidinis et divitiarum victor, tantummo- 
do gloriee avidus. Sed is natus et omnem pueritiam 
Arpini altus, ubi primum eetas militise patiens fuit, sti- 
pendiis faciendis, non Graeca facundia neque urbanis 
munditiis sese exercuit: ita inter artes bonas integrum 
ingenium brevi adolevit. Ergo ubi primum tribunatum 
militarem a populo petit, plerisque faciem ejus ignoranti- 
bus, facile notus per omnes tribus declaratur. Deinde 
ab eo magistratu alium post alium sibi peperit, semper 
que in potestatibus eo modo agitabat, uti ampliore, quam 
gerebat, dignus haberetur. Tamen is ad id locorum 
talis vir (nam postea ambitione pra3ceps datus est) con- 
tinlai.im petere non audebat : etiamtum alios magistratus 



47 

JUGURTHA. 51 

plebes, consulatum nobilitas inter se per manus trade- 
bat : novus nemo tarn clarus, neque tarn egregius factis 
erat, quin is indignus illo honore et quasi pollutus habe- 
re! ur. 

LXIV. Igitur ubi Marius haruspicis dicta eodem in- 
tendere videt, quo cupido animi hortabatur, ab Metello 
petendi gratia missionem rogat. Cui quamquam virtus, 
gloria atque alia optanda bonis superabant, tamen ine- 
rat contemptor animus et superbia, commune nobilitatis 
malum. Itaque primiim, commotus insolita re, mirari 
ejus consilium, et quasi per amicitiam monere, ' ne tarn 
prava inciperet, neu super fortunam animum gereret: 
non omnia omnibus cupienda esse ; debere illi res suas 
satis placere : postremo caveret id petere a populo Ro- 
mano, quod illi jure negaretur.' Postquam hsec atque alia 
talia dixit, neque animus Marii flectitur, respondit, * ubi 
primiim potuisset per negotia publica, facturum sese, 
quae peteret;' ac postea saepius eadem postulanti fertur 
dixisse, ' ne festinaret abire ; satis mature ilium cum filio 
suo consulatum petiturum.' Is eo tempore contubernio 
patris ibidem militabat, annos natus circiter viginti. 
Quae res Marium quum pro honore, quem affectabat, 
tum contra Metellum vehementer accenderat. Ita cu- 
pidine atque ira, pessimis consul toribus, grassari, neque 
facto ullo neque dicto abstinere, quod modo ambitiosum 
foret: milites, quibus in hibernis praeerat, laxiore impe- 
rio quam antea habere : apud negotiatorea quorum 
magna multitudo Uticae erat, criminose simul et mag- 
nifice de bello loqui : ' dimidia pars exercitus sibi per- 
mitteretur, paucis diebus Jugurtham in catenis habitu- 
rurn: at) imperatore consulto trahi, quod homo inanib 
et regiae superbiae imperio nimis gauderet.' Quae om- 



52 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

nia illis eo firmiora videbantur, quod diuturnitate belli 
res familiares corruperant, et animo cupienti nihil satis 
festinatur 

LXV. Erat praeterea in exercitu nostro Numida qui- 
dam, nomine Gauda, Manastabalis filius, Masinissa^ ne- 
pos, quern Micipsa testamento secundum heredem scrip- 
serat, morbis confectus, et ob eam causam mente pauliim 
imminuta. Cui Metellus petenti, * more regum uti sel- 
1am juxta poneret,' item postea ' custodise causa turmam 
equitum Romanorum,' utrumque negaverat ; honorem, 
quod eorum modo foret, quos populus Romanus reges 
appellavisset ; prsesidium, quod contumeliosum foret, si 
equites Romani satellites Numidae traderentur. Hunc 
Marius anxium aggreditur, atque hortatur, uti con- 
tumeliarum imperatoris cum suo auxilio poenas petat: 
hominem ob morbos animo parum valido secunda ora- 
tione extoUit : * ilium regem, ingentem virum, Masinissae 
nepotem esse ; si Jugurtha captus aut occisus foret, im- 
perium Numidiee sine mora habiturum ; id adeo mature 
posse evenire, si ipse consul ad id bellum missus forel/ 
Itaque et ilium, et equites Romanes, milites et negotia- 
tores, alios ipse, plerosque spes pacis impellit, uti Romam 
ad sues necessaries aspere in Metellum de bello scribant, 
Marium imperatorem poscant. Sic illi a multis mortali- 
bus honestissima sufTragatione consulatus petebatur : 
simul ea tempestate plebes, nobilitate fusa per legem 
Mamiliam, novos extollebat. Ita Mario cuncta proced- 
ere. 

LXVI. Interim Jugurtha, postquam, omissa deditione, 
bellum incipit, cum magna cura parare omnia, festinaie, 
cogere exercitum ; civitates, quae ab se defecerant, for- 
iriidine aut ostentando prasmia aifectare; communire 



JUGURTHA. 53 

suos locos; arma, tela, alia, quae spe pacis amiserat, re- 
ficere aut commercari ; servitia Romanorum allicere, et 
eos ipsos, qui in praesidiis erant, pecunia tentare ; pror- 
sus nihil intactum neque quietum pati, cuncta agitare. 
Igitur Vaccenses, quo Metellus initio, Jugurtlm pacifi- 
cante, praesidium imposuerat, fatigati regis suppliciis, 
neque antea voluntate alienati, principes civitatis inter 
se conjurant : nam vulgus, uti pleriimque solet, et max- 
ime Numidarum, ingenio mobili, seditiosum atque dis- 
cordiosum erat, cupidum novarum rerum, quieti et otio 
adversum. Dein, compositis inter se rebus, in diem ter- 
tium constituunt, quod is festus celebratusque per omnem 
Africam ludum et lasciviam magis quam formidinem 
ostentabat. Sed ubi tempus fuit, centuriones tribunos- 
que militares, et ipsum praefectum oppidi T. Turpilium 
Silanum, alius alium domos suas invitant: eos omnes 
praeter Turpilium inter epulas obtruncant: postea mili- 
tes palantes, inermes, quippe in tali die ac sine imperio, 
aggrediuntur. Idem plebes facit, pars edocti ab nobili- 
tate, alii studio talium rerum incitati, quis acta consili 
umque ignorantibus tumultus ipse et res novae satis pla- 
cebant. 

LXVII. Romani milites, improviso metu incerti ig- 
narique, quid potissimum facerent, trepidare : ad arcem 
oppidi, ubi signa et scuta erant, praesidium hostium: portae 
ante clausae fugam prohibebant : ad hoc mulieres puerique 
pro tectis ^dificiorum saxa et alia, quae locus praebebat, 
certatim mittere. Ita neque caveri anceps malum, neque 
a fortissimis infirmissimo generi resisti posse : juxta boni 
malique, strenui et imbelles inulti obtruncari. In ea tanta 
asperitate, saevissimis Numidis et oppido undique clauso, 
Turpilius praefectus unus ex omnibus Italicis profugit 



54 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

intactus. Id misericordiane hospitis, an pactione aut 
casu ita evenerit, parum comperimus ; nisi, quia illi in 
tanto malo turpis vita integra fama potior fuit, improbus 
iritestabilisque videtur. 

LXVIII. Metellus postquam de rebus Vaccas actis 
comperit, paulisper moestus e conspectu abit ; deinde, ubi 
ira et aegritudo permixta sunt, cum maxima cura ultum 
ire injurias festinat. Legionem, cum qua hiemabat, et 
quam plurimos potest Numidas equites pariter cum oc- 
casu solis expeditos educit ; et postera die circiter horam 
tertiam pervenit in quamdam planitiem, locis paulo su- 
perioribus circumventam. Ibi milites, fessos itineris 
magnitudine, et jam abnuentes omnia, docet ' oppidum 
Vaccam non ampliiis mille passuum abesse : decere illos 
reliquum laborem aequo animo pati, dum pro civibus 
suis, viris fortissimis atque miserrimis, poenas caperent :' 
praeterea praedam benigne ostentat. Ita animis eorum 
arrectis, equites in primo late, pedites quam artissime ire, 
et signa occultare jubet. 

LXIX. Vaccenses ubi animum advertere ad se ver- 
sum exercitum pergere, primo, uti erat res, Metellum esse 
rati, portas clausere : deinde, ubi neque agros vastari, et 
eos, qui primi aderant, Numidas equites vident, rursum 
Jugurtham arbitrati, cum magno gaudio obvii procedunt. 
Equites peditesque, repente signo dato, alii vulgum effu- 
sum oppido caedere, alii ad portas festinare, pars turres 
capere ; ira atque praedae spes amplius quam lassitudo 
posse. Ita Vaccenses biduum modo ex perfidia la&tati : 
civitas magna et opulens cuncta poenae aut prasda3 fuit. 
Turpilius, quern prasfectum oppidi unum ex omnibus 
profugisse supra ostendimus, jussus a Metello causam 
dicere, postquam sese parum expurgat, condemnatus 



JUGURTHA. 55 

verberatusque capite poenas solvit : nam is civis ex Latio 
erat. 

LXX. Per idem tempus Bomilcar, cujus impulsu Ju- 
gurtha deditionem, quam metu deseruit, inceperat, sus- 
pectus regi, et ipse eum suspiciens, novas res cupere, ad 
perniciem ejus dolum quaerere, die noctaque fatigare 
animum. Denique omnia tentando, socium sibi adjun- 
git. Nabdalsam, hominem nobilem, magnis opibus, carum 
acceptumque popularibus suis, qui pleriimque seorsum 
ab rege exercitum ductare et omnes res exsequi solitus 
erat, quae Jugurthse fesso aut majoribus adstricto superav- 
erant; ex quo illi gloria opesque mventse. Igitur utri- 
usque consilio dies insidiis statuitur : ' cetera, uti res pos- 
ceret, ex tempore parari' placuit. Nabdalsa ad exercitum 
profectus, quem inter hiberna Romanorum jussus habe- 
bat, ne ager, inultis hostibus, vastaretur. Is postquam 
magnitudine facinoris perculsus ad tempus non venit, 
m.etusque rem impediebat, Bomilcar, simul cupidus in- 
cepta patrandi, et timore socii anxius, ne, omisso vetere 
consilio, novum quaereret, litteras ad eum per homines 
fideles mittit, in quis mollitiem socordiamque viri accu- 
sare, testari deos, per quos juravisset, monere, ' ne pras- 
mia Metelli in pestem converteret ; Jurgurthae exitium 
adesse ; ceterum suane an Metelli virtute periret, id 
modo agitari: proinde reputaret cum animo suo, praemia 
an cruciatum mallet.' 

LXXI. Sed quum has litterae allatae, forte Nabdalsa 
exercito corpore fessus in lecto quiescebat, ubi, cogni- 
tis Bomilcaris verbis, primo cura, deinde, uti aegrum 
animum solet, somnus cepit. Erat ei Numida quidam, 
negotiorum curator, fidus acceptusque et omnium con- 
siliorum, nisi novissimi, particeps. Qui postquam alia-

tas Jitleras audivit, ex consuetudine ratus opera aut in 
genio suo opus esse, in tabernaculum introiit : dormiente 
illo epistolam, super caput in pulvino temere positam, 
sumit ac perlegit, dein propere, cognitis insidiis, ad regem 
pergit. Nabdalsa post paulo experrectus, ubi neque epis- 
tolam reperit, et rem omnem, uti acta erat, cognovit, 
primo indicem persequi conatus, postquam id frustra fuit, 
Jugurtham placandi gratia accedit ; dicit ' quae ipse par- 
avisset facere, periSdia clientis sui prseventa :' lacrymans 
obtestatur ' per amicitiam perque sua antea fideliter acta, 
ne super tali scelere suspectum sese haberet.' 

LXXIL Ad ea rex, alitor atque animo gerebat, placide 
respondit. Bomilcare aliisque multis, quos socios insid- 
iarum cognoverat, interfectis, iram oppresserat, ne qua 
ex eo negotio seditio oriretur. Neque post id locorum 
Jugurthae dies aut nox ulla quieta fuit : neque loco neque 
mortali cuiquam aut tempori satis credere, cives, hostes 
juxta metuere, circumspectare omnia, et omni strepitu 
pavescere, alio atque alio loco, saepe contra decus re- 
gium, noctu requiescere, interdum somno excitus, arreptis 
armis, tumultum facere; ita formidine quasi vecordia 
exagitari. 

LXXIII. Igitur Metellus, ubi de casu Bomilcaris et 
indicio patefacto ex perfugis cognovit, rursus, tamquam 
ad integrum bellum, cuncta parat festinatque. Marium, 
fatigantem de profectione, simul et invisum et ofFensum, 
sibi parum idoneum ratus, domum dimittit. Et Romae 
plebes, litteris, quae de Metello ac Mario missae erant, 
cognitis, volenti animo de ambobus acceperant. Imper 
atori nobilitas, quae antea decori, invidiam esse : at illi 
alteri generis humilitas favorem addiderat: ceterum in 
utroque magis studia partium, quam bona aut mala sua 



JUGURTHA. 57 

moderata. Praeterea seditiosi magistratus valgum exag- 
itare, Metellum omnibus concionibus capitis arcesscre, 
Marii virtutem in majus celebrare. Denique plebes sio 
a?censa, uti opifices agrestesque omnes, quorum res fides- 
que in manibus sitae erant, relictis operibus, frequentarent 
Marmm, et sua necessaria post illius honorem ducerent. 
Ita, perculsa nobilitate, post multas tempestates novo 
homini consulatus mandatur ; et postea populus, a tribune 
plebis Manilio Mancino rogatus, 'quem vellet cum Jugur- 
tha bellum gerere,' frequens Marium jussit. Sed senatus 
paulo ante Metello Numidiam decreverat : ea res frustra 
fuit. 

LXXIV. Eodem tempore Jugurtha, amissis amicis. 
quorum plerosque ipse necaverat, ceteri formidine, para 
ad Romanes, alii ad regem Bocchum prefugerant, quurr. 
neque bellum geri sine administris posset, et novorum 
fidem' in tanta perfidia veterum experiri periculosum 
duceret, varius incertusque agitabat ; neque illi res, neque 
consilium aut quisquam hominum satis placebat : itinera 
praefectosque in dies mutare ; modo adversum hostes, 
interdum in solitudines pergere ; saepe in fuga, ac post 
paulo in armis spem habere ; dubitare, virtuti an fide 
popularium minus crederet: ita, quocumque intenderat, 
res adversae erant. Sed inter eas moras repente sese 
Metellus cum exercitu ostendit. Numidae ab Jugurtha 
pro tempore parati instructique ; dein proelium incipitur. 
Qua in parte rex pugnae adfuit, ibi aliquamdiu certatum ; 
ceteri omnes ejus milites primo concursu pulsi fugatique. 
Romani signorum et armorum aliquanto numero, hostium 
pimcorum potiti : nam ferme Numidas in omnibus proeliis 
niagis pedes quam arma tuta sunt. 

LXXV Ea fuga Jugurtha, impensiiis modo rebus suis 



58 C. CmSPI SALLUSTII 

difRdens, cum perfugis et parte equitatus in solitudines, 
dein Thalam pervenit, in oppidum magnum et opulen- 
tum, ubi plerique thesauri filiorumque ejus multus pue- 
ritiae cultus erat. Quae postquam Metello comperta sunt, 
quamquam inter Thalam fiumenque proximum, spatio 
milliam quinquaginta, loca arida atque vasta esse cog- 
noverat, tamen spe patrandi belli, si ejus oppidi potitus 
foret, omnes asperitates supervadere, ac naturam etiam 
vincere aggreditur. Igitur omnia jumenta sarcinis levari 
jubet, nisi frumento dierum decern; ceterum utres modo 
et alia aquee idonea portari. Prseterea conquirit ex agris, 
quam plurimum potest domiti pecoris, eoque imponit vasa 
cujusque modi, sed pleraque lignea, collecta ex tuguriis 
Numidarum. Ad hoc finitimis imperat, qui se post regis 
fugam Metello dederant, quam plurimum quisque aquae 
portaret: diem locumque, ubi praesto forent, praedicit. 
Ipse ex flumine, quam proximam oppido aquam supra 
diximus, jumenta onerat : eo modo instructus ad Tha- 
lam proficiscitur. Deinde ubi ad id loci ventum, quo 
Numidis praeceperat, et castra posita munitaque sunt, 
tanta repente coelo missa vis aquae dicitur, ut ea modo 
exercitui satis superque foret. Praeterea commeatus spe 
amplior, quia Numidae, sicuti plerique in nova deditione, 
officia intenderant. Ceterum milites religione pluvia 
magis usi, eaque res multum animis eorum addidit ; nam 
rati sese dis immortalibus curae esse. Deinde postero 
die, contra opinionem Jugurthae, ad Thalam perveniunt. 
Oppidani, qui se locorum asperitate munitos crediderant, 
magna atque insolita re perculsi, nihilo segnius bellum 
pa rare : idem ncstri facere. 

TiXXVI. Sed rex, nihil jam infectum Metello credens, 
quippe qui omnia, arma, tela, locos, tempora, denique 



JUGURTHA. 59 

naturam ipsam, ceteris imperitantem, industria vicerat, 
cum liberis et magna parte pecuniae ex oppido noctu 
profugit. Neque postea in uUo loco ampliiis uno die aut 
una nocte moratus, simulabat sese negotii gratia prop- 
erare ; ceteriim proditionem timebat, quam vitare posse 
coleritate putabat : nam talia consilia per otium et ex 
o])portunitate capi. At Metellus, ubi oppidanos proelio 
intentos, simul oppidum et operibus et loco munitum videt, 
vallo fossaque moenia circumvenit. Deinde locis ex copia 
maxime idoneis vineas agei'e, aggerem jacere, et super 
aggerem impositis turribus, opus et administros tutari. 
Contra haec oppidani festinare, parare : prorsus ab utris- 
que nihil reliquum fieri. Denique Romani, multo ante 
labore proeliisque fatigati, post dies quadraginta, quam eo 
ventum erat, oppido modo potiti : praeda omnis a perfugis 
corrupta. li postquam murum arietibus feriri resque suas 
afflictas vident, aurum atque argentum et alia, quas prima 
ducuntur, domum regiam comportant : ibi vino et epulis 
onerati, illaque et domum et semet igni corrumpunt ; et 
quas victi ab hostibus poenas metuerant, eas ipsi volentes 
pependere. 

LXXVIL Sed pariter cum capta Thala legati ex op- 
pido Lepti ad Metellum venerant, orantes, * uti praesidium 
praefectumque eo mitteret : Hamilcarem quemdam, hom- 
inem nobilem, factiosum, novis rebus studere, adversum 
quern neque imperia magistratuum neque leges valerent : 
ni id festinaret, in summo periculo suam salutem, illorum 
socios fore/ Nam Leptitani jam inde a principio belli 
Jugurthini ad Bestiam consulem et postea Romam mise- 
rant, amicitiam societatemque rogatum: deinde, ubi ea 
impetrata, semper boni fidelesque mansere, et cuncta a 

Bes'iia, Albino Metelloque imperata nave fecerant. Ita-

que ab imperatore facile, quae petebant, adepti, et missae 
eo cohortes Ligurum quatuor, et C. Annms praefectus. 

LXXVIII. Id oppidum ab Sidoniis conditum est, quos 
accepimus profugos ob discordias civiles navibus in eos 
locos venisse : ceterum situm inter duas Sj^rtes, quibus 
nonien ex re inditum. Nam duo sunt sinus prope in ex- 
trema Africa, impares magnitudine, pari natura : quorum 
proxima terrse prasalta sunt; cetera, uti fors tulit, alta, 
alia in tempestate, vadosa. Nam ubi mare magnum esse, 
et sasvire ventis coepit, limum arenamque et saxa ingentia 
fluctus trahunt : ita facies locorum cum ventis simul mu- 
tatur. Syrtes ab tractu nominatae. Ejus civitatis lingua 
modo conversa connubio Numidarum : leges cultusque 
pleraque Sidonica, quae eo facilius retinebant, quod procul 
ab imperio regis aetatem agebant. Inter illos et frequen- 
tem Numidiam multi vastique loci erant. 

LXXIX. Sed quoniam in has regiones per Leptitano- 
rum negotia venimus, non indignum videtur egregium 
atque mirabile facinus duorum Carthaginiensium memo- 
rare: eam rem nos locus admonuit. Qua tempestate Car- 
thaginienses pleraeque Africas imperitabant, Cyrenenses 
quoque magni atque opulenti fuere. Ager in medio 
arenosus, una specie : neque flumen, neque mons erat, 
qui fines eorum discerneret; quae res eos in magno di- 
uturnoque bello inter se habuit. Postquam utrimque le- 
giones, item classes saepe fusae fugataeque, et alteri alteros 
aliquantum attriverant, veriti, ne mox victos victoresque 
defessos alius aggrederetur, per inducias sponsionem faci« 
unt, * uti certo die legati domo proficiscerentur : quo ir: 
loco inter se obvii fuissent, is communis ukiusque pop- 
uli finis haberetur.' Igitur Carthagine duo fratres missis 
quibus nomen Philaenis erat, maturavere iter pergire: 



JUGURTHA. 61 

Cyrenenses tardius iere. Id socordiane an casu accid- 
ent, parum cognovi : ceterum solet in illis locis tempes- 
tas hand secus atque in mari retinere. Nam ubi per loca 
sequalia et nuda gignentium ventus coortus arenam humo 
excitavit, ea magna vi agitata ora oculosque implere 
solet : ita, prospectu impedito, morari iter. Postquam 
Cyrenenses aliquanto posteriores se vident, et ob rem 
corruptam domi poenas metuunt, criminari Carthaginien 
ses ante tempus domo digresses, conturbare rem, deni- 
que omnia malle, quam victi abire. Sed quum Poeni 
aliam conditionem, tantummodo aequam, peterent, Grse- 
ci optionem Carthaginiensibus faciunt, ' ut vel illi, quos 
fines populo suo peterent, ibi vivi obruerentur, vel eadem 
conditione sese, quem in locum vellent, processuros.' Phi- 
laeni, conditione probata, seque vitamque suam reipublicae 
condonavere : ita vivi obruti. Carthaginienses in eo loco 
Philasnis fratribus aras consecravere : aliique illis domi 
honores instituti. Nunc ad rem redeo. 

LXXX. Jugurtha postquam, amissa Thala, nihil satis 
firmum contra Metellum putat, per magnas solitudines 
cum paucis profectus, pervenit ad Gaetulos, genus hom- 
inum ferum incultumque, et eo tempore ignarum nom- 
inis Romani. Eorum multitudinem in unum cogit, ac 
paulatim consuefacit ordines habere, signa sequi, imperi- 
um observare, item alia militaria facere. Prseterea regis 
Bocchi proximos magnis muneribus et majoribus pro- 
missis ad studium sui perducit; quis adjutoribus regem 
aggressus impellit, uti adversum Romanes bellum suscip 
iat. Id ea gratia facilius proniusque fuit, quod Bocchus 
initio hujusce belU legates Romam miserat, foedus el 
amicitiam petitum : quam rem opportunissimam incepto 
bello pauci impediverant, caeci avaritia, quis omnia, ho- 



62 C. CmSPl SALLUSTII 

nesta atque inhonesta, vendere mos erat. Etiam antea 
Jugurthse filia Bocchi nupserat. Verum ea necessitudo 
apud Numidas Maurosque levis ducitur, quia singuli, 
pro opibus quisque, quam plurimas uxores, denas alii, 
alii plures habent, sed reges eo amplius. Ita animus 
multitudine distrahitur; nulla pro socia obtinet; pariter 
omnes viles sunt. 

LXXXL Igitur in locum ambobus placitum exercitus 
conveniunt. Ibi, fide data et accepta, Jugurtha Bocchi 
animum oratione accendit : * Romanos injustos, profunda 
avaritia, communes omnium hostes esse: eandem illos 
causam belli cum Boccho habere, quam secum et cum 
aliis gentibus, libidinem imperitandi, quis omnia regna 
adversa sint : tum sese, paulo ante Cartbaginienses, item 
Person regem, post, uti quisque opulentissimus videatur, 
ita Romanis hostem fore.' His atque aliis talibus dictis, 
ad Cirtam oppidum iter constituunt, quod ibi Metellus 
praedam captivosque et impedimenta locaverat : ita Ju- 
gurtha ratus, aut, capta urbe, operae pretium fore ; aut, 
si Romanus auxilio suis venisset, proelio sese certaturos. 
Nam callidus id modo festinabat, Bocchi pacem immi- 
nuere, ne moras agitando aliud quam bellum mallet. /> 

LXXXII. Imperator postquam de regam societate 
(!;ognovit, non temere, neque, uti, saspe jam victo Jugur- 
tha, consueverat, omnibus locis pugnandi copiam facit 
ceteriim baud procul ab Cirta, castris munitis, reges op- 
peritur ; melius esse ratus, cognitis Mauris, quoniam is 
novus hostis accesserat, ex commodo pugnam facere. 
Interim Roma per litteras certior fit provinciam Numidiam 
Mario datam ; nam consulem factum ante acceperat. 
Quis rebus supra bonum atque honestum perculsus, neque 
lacrymas tenere, neque moderari linguam : vir egregius 



JUGURTHA. 63 

m aliis artibus nimis molliter aegritudinem pati. Quam 
rem alii in superbiam vertebant, alii bonum ingenium 
contumelia accensum esse, multi, quod jam parta victo- 
ria ex manibus eriperetur : nobis satis cognitum est, ilium 
magis honore Marii quam injuria sua excruciatum, neque 
tam anxie laturum fuisse, si adempta provincia alii quam 
Mario traderetur. 

LXXXIII. Igitur eo dolore impeditus, et quia stultitise 
videbatur alienam rem periculo suo curare, legatos ad 
Bocchum mittit, postulatum, ' ne sine causa hostis populo 
Romano fieret: habere tum magnam copiam societatis 
amicitiaeque conjungendse, quae potior bello esset : quam- 
quam opibus suis confideret, tamen non debere incerta 
pro certis mutare : omne bellum sumi facile, ceterum 
aegerrime desinere : non in ejusdem potestate initium 
ejus et finem esse ; incipere cuivis, etiam ignavo, licere ; 
deponi, quum victores velint. Proinde sibi regnoque suo 
consuleret, neu florentes res suas cum Jugurthae perditis 
misceret.' Ad ea rex satis placide verba facit : ' sese 
pacem cupere, sed Jugurthae fortunarum misereri; s"i 
eadem illi copia fieret, omnia conventura.' Rursus im- 
perator contra postulata Bocchi nuntios mittit : ille pro- 
bare partim, aha abnuere. Eo modo saepe ab utroque 
missis remissisque nuntiis tempus procedere, et ex Me- 
telli voluntate bellum intactum trahi. 

LXXXIV. At Marius, ut supra diximus, cupientissima 
plebe consul factus, postquam ei provinciam Numidiam 
populus jussit, antea jam infestus nobilitati, tum vero 
multus atque ferox instare : singulos modo, modo uni- 
verses laedere ; dictitare ' sese consulatum ex victis illis 
spolia cepisse ;' alia praeterea magnifica pro se, et illis 
dolentia. Interim, quae bello opus erant, prima habere : 



64 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

postulare legionibus supplementum, auxilia a populis et 
regibus sociisqiie arcessere : praeterea ex Latio fortissi- 
mum quemque, plerosque militise, paucos fama cognitos, 
accire, et ambierido cogere homines emeritis stipendiis 
secum proficisci. Neque illi senatus, quamquam adver- 
sus erat, de uUo negotio abnuere audebat: ceterum sup- 
plementum etiam Isetus decreverat ; quia neque plebi 
militia volenti putabatur, et Marius aut belli usum aut 
studia vulgi amissurus. Sed ea res frustra sperata : tanta 
libido cum Mario eundi plerosque invaserat. Sese quis- 
que prseda locupletem fore, victorem domum rediturum, 
alia hujuscemodi animis trahebant, et eos non paulum 
oratione sua Marius arrexerat. Nam postquam, omnibus, 
quae postulaverat, decretis, milites scribere vult, hor- 
tandi causa, simul et nobilitatem, uti consueverat, exag- 
itandi, concionem populi advocavit; deinde hoc mode 
disseruit. 

LXXXV. " Scio ego, Quirites, plerosque non iisdem 
artibus imperium a vobis petere, et, postquam adepti sunt, 
gerere : primo industries, supplices, medicos esse ; deinde 
per ignaviam et superbiam setatem agere. Sed mihi 
contra ea videtur : nam quo pluris est, universa respub- 
lica quam consulatus aut prsetura, eo majore cura illam 
administrari, quam hsec peti, debere. Neque me falht, 
quantum cum maximo beneficio vestro negotii sustine- 
am. Bellum parare simul, et a3rario parcere ; cogere ad 
militiam eos, quos nolis offendere ; domi forisque omnia 
curare ; et ea agere inter invidos, occursantes, factiosos, 
opinione, Quirites, asperius est. Ad hoc alii si dehquere, 
vetus nobilitas, majorum fortia facta, cognatorum et af- 
finium opes, multas clientela3, omnia ha3C praesidio ad- 
sunt : mihi spes omnes in memet sitae, quas necesse est 



JUGURTHA. 65 

et \drlute et innocentia tutari; nam alia infirma sunt. 
Et illud intelligo, Quirites, omnium ora in me conversa 
esse : aequos bonosque favere, quippe benefacta mea 
reipublicae procedunt ; nobilitatem locum invadendi quasr 
ere. Quo mihi acrius adnitendum est, iit neque vos 
capiamini, et illi frustra sint. Ita ad hoc setatis a pue- 
ritia fui, ut omnes labores, pericula consueta habeam. 
Qu2e ante vestra beneficia gratuito faciebam, ea uti, ac- 
cepta mercede, deseram, non est consilium, Quirites. 
Illis difficile est in potestatibus temperare, qui per am- 
bitionem sese probos simulavere : mihi, qui omnem 
aetatem in optimis artibus egi, bene facere jam ex con- 
suetudine in naturam vertit. Bellum me gerere cum 
Jugurtha jussistis ; quam rem nobilitas segerrime tulit. 
Quseso, reputate cum animis vestris, num id mutari 
melius sit, si quem ex illo globo nobiUtatis ad hoc aut 
aliud tale negotium mittatis, hominem veteris prosapiae 
ac multarum imaginum et nullius stipendii, scilicet ut 
in tant^ re ignarus omnium trepidet, festinet, sumat 
aliquem ex populo monitorem officii sui. Ita plerumque 
evenit, ut, quem vos imperare jussistis, is sibi imperato- 
rem alium quaerat. Atque ego scio, Quirites, qui, post- 
quam consules facti sunt, acta majorum et Grsecorum mil- 
itaria praecepta lege re cosperint; proeposteri homines; nam 
gerere quam fieri tempore posterius, re atque usu prius 
est. Comparate nunc, Quirites, cum illorum superbia 
me hominem novum. Quae illi audire et legere solent, 
eorum partem vidi, aha egomet gessi : quae iUi litteris, ea 
ego militando didici. Nunc vos existimate, facta an dicta 
pluris sint. Contemnunt novitatem meam ; ego illorum 
ignaviam : mihi fortuna, illis probra objectantur. Quam- 
quam ego naturam unam et communem omnium existi- 



66 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

mo, sed fortissimum quemque generosissimum. Ac si 
jam ex patribus Albini aut Bestiae quaeri posset, * mene 
an illos ex se gigni maluerint,' quid responsuros creditis, 
nisi, ' sese liberos quam optimos voluisse V Quod si jure 
me despiciunt, faciant idem majoribus suis, quibus, utl 
mihi, ex virtute nobilitas coepit. Invident honori meo ; 
ergo invideant labori, innocentiae, periculis etiam meis, 
quoniam per hoBC ilium cepi. Verum homines corrupt! 
superbia ita setatem agunt, quasi vestros honores con- 
temnant ; ita hos petunt, quasi honeste vixerint. Nae illi 
falsi sunt, qui diversissimas res pariter exspectant, ig- 
navioB voluptatem et prsemia virtutis. Atque etiam 
quum apud vos aut in senatu verba faciunt, pleraque 
oratione majores sues extollunt; eorum fortia facta 
memorando clariores sese putant : quod contra est. Nam 
quanto vita illorum prseclarior, tanto horum socordia 
flagitiosior. Et profecto ita se res habet : majorum glo- 
ria posteris quasi lumen est; neque bona eorum neque 
mala in occulto patitur. Hujusce rei ego inopiam patior, 
Quirites ; verum, id quod multo prseclarius est, meamet 
facta mihi dicere licet. Nunc videte, quam iniqui sint. 
Quod ex aliena virtute sibi arrogant, id mihi ex mea non 
concedunt ; scilicet, quia imagines non habeo, et quia 
mihi nova nobihtas est, quam certe peperisse melius est, 
quam acceptam corrupisse. Equidem ego non ignoro, 
si jam mihi respondere vehnt, abunde illis facundam el 
compositam orationem fore. Sed in maximo vestro bene 
ficio, quum omnibus locis me vosque maledictis lacerent, 
non placuit reticere, ne quis modestiam in conscientiam 
duceret. Nam me quidem, ex animi mei sententia, nulla 
oratio Isedere potest : quippe vera necesse est bene pras* 
dicet, falsam vita moresque mei superant, Sed quoni 



JUGURTHA. 67 

am vestra consilia accusantur, qui mihi summum hono- 
rem et maximum negotium imposuistis, etiam atque etiam 
reputate, num eorum poenitendum sit. Non possum, 
fidei causa imagines, neque triumphos aut consulatus 
majorum meorum ostentare ; at, si res postulet, hastas, 
vexillum, phaleras, alia militaria dona ; prceterea cicatri- 
ces adverso corpore. Hae sunt meee imagines, haec no- 
bilitas, non haereditate relicta, ut ilia illis, sed quae ego met 
plurimis laboribus et periculis quoesivi. Non sunt com- 
posita mea verba ; parum id facio '; ipsa se virtus satis 
ostendit : illis artificio opus est, ut turpia facta oratione 
tegant. Neque litteras Groecas didici : parum placebat 
^as discere, quippe qu^e ad virtutem doctoribus nihil prof- 
uerunt. At ilia multo optima reipublicae doctus sum, 
fiostem ferire, praesidia agitare, nihil m.etuere nisi turpem 
famam, hiemem et aestatem juxta pati, humi requies- 
cere, eodem tempore inopiam et laborem tolerare. His 
ego praeceptis milites hortabor, neque illos arte colam, 
me opulenter; neque gloriam meam laborem illorum 
faciam. Hoc est utile, hoc civile imperium. Namque, 
quum tute per mollitiem agas, exercitum supplicio cog- 
ere, id est dominum, non imperatorem esse. Haec atque 
talia majores vestri faciendo seque remque publicam cel- 
ebravere. Quis nobilitas freta, ipsa dissimilis moribus, 
nos, illorum aemulos, contemnit ; et omnes honores, non 
ex merito, sed quasi debitos, a vobis repetit. Ceteriim 
homines superbissimi procul errant. Majores eorum om- 
nia, quae licebat, illis reliquere, divitias, imagines, memo- 
riam sui praeclaram : virtutem non reliquere ; neque pote- 
rant: ea sola neque datur dono, neque accipitur. *Sordi- 
dum me et incultis moribus' aiunt, quia parum scite con- 
vivium exorno, neque histrionem ullum, neque pluris pretii 



68 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

coquum quam villicurn habeo. Quae mihi libet confi- 
teri, Quirites, nam ex parente meo, et ex aliis Sanctis 
viris ita accepi, munditias mulieribus, viris laborem con- 
venire; omnibusque bonis oportere plus glorias quam divit- 
iarum esse ; arma, non supellectilem decori esse. Quiii 
ergo, quod juvat, quod carum sestimant, id semper faci- 
ant ; ament, potent : ubi adolescentiam habuere, ibi se- 
nectutem agant, in conviviis, dediti ventri et turpissimse 
parti corporis : sudorem, pulverem, et alia talia relinquani 
nobis, quibus ilia epulis jucundiora sunt. Verum non 
est ita : nam ubi se flagitiis dedecoravere turpissimi viri, 
bonorum prsemia ereptum eunt. Ita injustissime luxuria 
et ignavia, pessimse artes, illis, qui coluere eas, nihil offic- 
iunt, reipublicae innoxiae cladi sunt. Nunc, quoniam illis, 
quantum mores mei, non illorum flagitia poscebant, res- 
pondi, pauca de republica loquar. Primum omnium de 
Numidia bonum habete animum, Quirites. Nam quae ad 
hoc tempus Jugurtham tutata sunt, omnia removistis, 
avaritiam, imperitiam, superbiam. Deinde exercitus ibi 
est locorum sciens ; sed mehercule magis strenuus quam 
felix ; nam magna pars ejus avaritia aut temeritate du- 
cum attrita est. Quamobrem vos, quibus militaris est 
aetas, adnitimini mecum, et capessite rempublicam: neque 
quemquam ex calamitate aliorum aut imperatorum super- 
bia metus ceperit. Egomet in agmine, in proelio, con- 
suitor idem et socius periculi, vobiscum adero; meque 
vosque in omnibus rebus juxta geram. Et profecto, diis 
juvantibus, omnia matura sunt, victoria, praeda, laus * 
quae si dubia aut procul essent, tamen omnes bonos rei- 
publicae subvenire decebat. Etenim ignavia nemo im- 
mortalis factus, neque quisquam parens liberis, uti aeterni 
forent, optavit ; magis, uti boni honestique vitam exige- 



JUGURTHA. 69 

rent. Plura dicerem, Quirites, si tiaiidis virtutem verba 
adderent ; nam strenuis abuiide dictum puto." 

LXXXVI. Hujuscemodi oratione habita, Marius post- 
quam plebis animos arrectos videt, propere commeatu, 
stipendio, armis, aliis utilibus naves onerat : cum his A 
Manlium legatum proficisci jubet. Ipse interea milites 
scribere, non more majorum, neque ex classibus, sed uti 
cuj usque libido erat, capite censos plerosque. Id factum 
alii inopia bonorum, alii per ambitionem consulis memo- 
rabant, quod ab eo genere celebratus auctusque erat, et 
homini potentiam quserenti egentissimus quisque oppor- 
tunissimus, cui neque sua curae, quippe quas nulla sunt, 
et omnia cum pretio honesta videntur. Igitur Marius 
cum aliquanto majore numero, quam decretum erat, in 
African! profectus, paucis diebus Uticam advehilur. Ex- 
ercitus ei traditur a P. Rutilio legato: nam Metellus 
conspectum Marii fugerat, ne videret ea, quae audita ani- 
mus tolerare nequiverat. 

LXXXVIL Sed consul, expletis legionibus cohorti- 
busque auxiliariis, in agrum fertilem et prseda onustum 
proficiscitur, omnia ibi capta militibus donat, dein cas- 
tella et oppida natura et viris parum munita aggreditur; 
proelia multa, ceterum levia, alia aliis locis facere. Inte- 
rim novi milites sine metu pugnas adesse, videre fugientes 
capi aut occidi, fortissimum quemque tutissimum, armis 
libertatem, patriam parentesque et alia omnia tegi, gloriam 
atque divitias quasri. Sic brevi spatio novi veteresque 
coaluere, et virtus omnium aequalis facta. At reges, ubi 
de adventu Marii cognoverunt, diversi in locos difficiles 
abeunt. Ita Jugurthae placuerat, speranti mox effusos 
hostos invadi posse, Romanos, sicuti plerosque, remote 
metU;, laxius licentiiisque futuros.

LXXXVIII. Metellus interea Romam profectus, con- 
tra spem suam Isetissimis animis excipitur, plebi patri- 
busque, postquam invidia decesserat, juxta carus. !Sed 
Marius impigre prudenterque suorum et hostium res par- 
iter attendere, cognoscere quid boni utrisque aut contra 
esset, explorare itinera regum, consilia et insidias ante- 
venire, nihil apud se remissum neque apud illos tutum 
pati. Itaque et Gaetulos et Jugurtham, ex sociis nostris 
prasdas agentes, saepe aggressus in itinere fuderat, ip- 
sumqiie regem baud procul ab oppido Cirta armis exue- 
rat. Quae postquam gloriosa modo, neque belli patrandi 
cognovit, statuit urbes, quae viris aut loco pro hostibus 
et adversiim se opportunissimae erant, singulas circum- 
venire : ita Jugurtham aut praesidiis nudatum, si ea pat- 
eretur, aut proelio certaturum. Nam Bocchus nuntios 
ad eum saepe miserat, ' velle populi Romani amicitiam : 
ne quid ab se hostile timeret.' Jd simulaveritne, quo 
improvisus gravior accideret, an mobilitate ingenii pacem 
atque bellum mutare solitus, parum exploratum est. 

LXXXIX. Sed consul, uti statuerat, oppida castella- 
que munita adire ; partim vi, alia metu aut praemia os- 
tentando, avertere ab hostibus. Ac primo mediocria 
gerebat, existimans Jugurtham ob suos tutandos in ma- 
nus venturum. Sed ubi ilium procul abesse, et aliis ne- 
gotiis intentum accepit, majora et magis aspera aggredi 
tempus visum est. Erat inter ingentes solitudines oppi- , 
dum magnum atque valens, nomine Capsa, cujus conditoi 
Hercules Libys memorabatur. Ejus cives apud Jugur 
tham immunes, levi imperio, et ob ea fidelissimi habe- 
bantur; muniti adversum hostes non moenibus modo et 
armis att]ue viris, verum etiam multo magis locorum as 
peritate. Nam, praeter oppido propinqua, alia omnia vas- 



JUGURTHA. 71 

la, inculta, egentia aquae, infesta serpentibus, quorum 
vis, sicuti omnium ferarum, inopia cibi acrior ; ad hoc 
natura serpentium, ipsa perniciosa, siti mag's quam alia 
re accenditur. Ejus potiundi Marium maxima cupido 
invaserat, quum propter usum belli, tum quia res aspera 
videbatur, et Metellus oppidum Thalam magna gloria 
ceperat, baud dissimiliter situm munitumque, nisi quod 
apud Thalam non longe a moenibus aliquot fontes erant, 
Capsenses una modo, atque ea intra oppidum, jugi aqua, 
cetera pluvia utebantur. Id ibique et in omni Africa, quae 
procul a mari incultiiis agebat, eo facilius tolerabatur, 
quia Numidse plerumque lacte et ferina carne vesceban- 
tur, et neque salem neque alia irritamenta guise qua3re- 
bant: cibus illis adversiim famem atque sitim, non libidini 
neque luxurise erat. 

XC. Igitur consul, omnibus exploratis, credo, dis fre- 
tus ; (nam contra tantas difficultates consilio satis provi- 
dere non poterat ; quippe etiam frumenti inopia tentaba- 
tur, quod Numidse pabulo pecoris magis quam arvo 
student, et quodcumque natum fuerat, jussu regis in loca 
munita contulerant ; ager autem aridus et frugum vacuus 
ea tempestate, nam ^statis extremum erat) ; tamen pro 
rei copia satis providenter exornat : pecus omne, quod 
superioribus diebus prasdae fuerat, equitibus auxiliariis 
agendum attribuit : A. Manlium legatum cum cohortibus 
expeditis ad oppidum Lares, ubi stipendium et commea- 
tum locaverat, ire jubet, dicitque ' se praedabundum post 
paucos dies eodem venturum.' Sic incepto suo occultato, 
pergit ad flumen Tanam. 

XCI. Ceterum in itinere quotidie pecus exercitui pei 
centurias, item turmas aequaliter distribuerat, et, ex coriis 

utres uti fierent, curabat : simul et inopiam frumenti

72 C. CmSPI SALLUSTII 

*enire, et, ignaris omnibus, parare, quae mox usui forent 
Denique sexto die, quum ad flumen ventum est, maxi- 
ma vis utrium effecta. Ibi castris levi munimento posi- 
tis, milites cibum capere, atque, uti simul cum occasu 
solis egrederentur, paratos esse jubet, omnibus sarcinis 
abjectis, aqua modo seque et jumenta onerare. Dein, 
postquam tempus visum, castris egreditur, noctemque 
totam itinere facto, consedit : idem proxima facit. Dein 
tertia multo ante lucis adventum pervenit in locum tu 
mulosum, ab Capsa non amplius duum millium . inter- 
vallo, ibique, qi5am occultissime potest, cum omnibus 
copiis opperitur. Sed ubi dies coepit, et Numidae, nihil 
hostile metuentes, multi oppido egressi, repente omnem 
equitatum, et cum his velocissimos pedites cursu tendere 
ad Capsam, et portas obsidere jubet : deinde ipse inten- 
tus propere sequi, neque milites praedari sinere. Quae 
postquam oppidani cognovere, res trepidae, metus ingens, 
malum improvisum, ad hoc pars civium extra moenia in 
hostium potestate, coegere, uti deditionem facerent. Ce- 
terum oppidum incensum, Numidae puberes interfecti, 
alii omnes venum dati, prasda militibus divisa. Id facinu« 
contra jus belli non avaritia neque scelere consulis ad- 
missum : sed quia locus Jugurthag opportunus, nobis aditu 
difRcilis ; genus hominum mobile, infidum ante, neque 
beneficio neque metu coercitum. 

XCII. Postquam tantam rem Marius sine ullo suorum 
incommode patravit, magnus et clarus antea, major et 
clarior haberi ccepit. Omnia, non bene consulta modo, 
verum etiam casu data in virtutem trahebantur ; milites 
modesto imperio habiti, simul et locupletes, ad coelum 
ferre ; Numidae magis quam mortalem timere ; posiremo 
omnes, socii atque hostes, credere illi aut mentem divinam 



JUGURTHA. 73 

esse, aut deorum nutu cuncta portendi. Sed consul, ubi 
ea res bene evenit, ad alia oppida pergit : pauca, repug- 
nantibus Numidis, capit, plura, deserta propter Capsen- 
siiim miserias, igni corrumpit : luctu atque caede omnia 
complentur. Denique multis locis potitus, ac plerisqiie 
exercitu incruento, aliam rem aggreditur, non eadem 
asperitate, qua Capsensium, ceterum baud secus diffici- 
lem. Namque baud longe a flumine Mulucha, quod Ju- 
gurtbo3 Boccbique regnum disjungebat, erat inter ceteram 
planitiem mons saxeus, mediocri castello satis patens, in 
immensum editus, uno perangusto aditu relicto; nam 
omnis natura, velut opere atque consulto, prseceps. Quern 
locum Marius, quod ibi regis tbe^auri erant, summa vi 
capere intendit. Sed ea res forte, quam consilio, melius 
gesta. Nam castello virorum atque armorum satis, mag- 
na vis frumenti et fons aquae ; aggeribus turribusque et 
aliis machinationibus locus importunus; iter castellanorum 
angustum admodum, utrimque prsecisum. Vineae cum 
ingenti periculo frustra agebantur; nam quum eae paulum 
processerant, igni aut lapidibus corrumpebantur : milites 
neque pro opere consistere, propter iniquitatem loci, neque 
inter vineas sine periculo administrare : optimus quisque 
cadere aut sauciari, ceteris metus augeri. 

XCIII. At Marius, multis diebus et laboribus con- 
sumptis, anxius trahere cum animo suo, omitteretne in- 
ceptum, quoniam frustra erat, an fortunam opperiretur, 
qua soepe prospere usus fuerat. Quae quum multos dies 
noctesque sestuans agitaret, forte quidam Ligus, ex cohor- 
tibus auxiliariis niiles gregarius, castris aquatum egressus, 
baud procul ab latere castelli, quod aversum proeliantibus 
erat, animum advertit inter saxa repentes cochleas : qua- 
rum quum unam atque alteram, dein plures peteret, studio 



74 . C. CRISPl SALLUSTIl 

legend! paulatim prope ad summum montis egressus est. 
Ubi postquam solitudinem intellexit, more ingenii humani 
cupido difficilia faciendi animum vertit. Et forte in eo 
loco grandis ilex coaluerat inter saxa, paululum modo 
prona, deinde flexa atque aucta in altitudinem, quo cuncta 
gignentium natura fert : cujus ramis modo, modo eminen- 
tibus saxis nisus Ligus, in castelli planitiem pervenit, 
quod cuncti Numidae intenti proeliantibus aderant. Ex- 
ploratis omnibus, quse mox usui fore ducebat, eadem 
regreditur, non teinere, uti escenderat, sed tentans om- 
nia et circumspiciens. Itaque Marium propere adit, acta 
edocet ; hortatur, ab ea parte, qua ipse escenderat, cas- 
tellum tentet ; pollicetur sese itineris periculique ducem. 
Marius cum Ligure, promissa ejus cognitum, ex prsesen- 
tibus misit ; quorum uti cujusque ingenium erat, ita rem^ 
difRcilem aut facilem nuntiavere. Gonsulis animus ta- 
men paulum arrectus. Itaque ex ©brfi^ tubicinum et cor- 
nicinum numero quinque quam velocissimos delegit, et 
cum his, praesidio qui forent, quatuor centuriones, omnes- 
que Liguri parere jubet, et ei negotio proximum diem 
constituit. 

XCIV. Sed ubi ex praecepto tempus visum, paratis 
compositisque omnibus ad locum pergit. Ceterum illi, 
qui ascensuri erant, prasdocti ab duce, arma ornatum- 
que mutaverant, capite atque pedibus nudis, uti prospec- 
tus nisusque per saxa faciliiis foret : super terga gladii et 
scuta, verum ea Numidica ex coriis, ponderis gratia 
simul, et ofTensa quo levius streperent. Igitur praegre- 
diens Ligus saxa, et si quae vetustate radices eminebant, 
laqueis vinciebat, quibus allevati milites faciliiis escende- 
rent: interdum timidos insolentia itineris levare manu: 
ubi paulo asperior ascensus erat, singulos pra:) se inermes 



JUGURTHA. 75 

mittere, deinde ipse cum illorum arniis sequi : quas dubia 
nisu videbantur, potissimus tentare, ac saepius eadem 
ascendens descendensque, dein statim digrediens, ceteris 
audaciam addere. Igitur, diii multumque fatigati, tan-, 
dem in castellmn perveniunt, desertum ab ea parte, 
quod omnes, sicuti aliis diebus, adversum hostes aderant. 
Marius, ubi ex nuntiis, quas Ligus egerat, cognovit, 
quamquam toto die intentos proelio Numidas habuerat, 
turn vero cohortatus milites, et ipse extra vineas egres- 
sus, testudine acta succedere, et simul hostem tormentis 
sagittariisque et funditoribus eminus terrere. At Nu- 
midas, saepe antea vineis Romanorum subversis, item in- 
censis, non castelli mcenibus sese tutabantur; sed pro 
muro dies noctesque agitare, maledicere Romanis, ac 
Mario vecordiam objectare, militibus nostris Jugurthae 
servitium minari, secundis rebus feroces esse. Interim 
omnibus Romanis hostibusque, proelio intentis, magna 
utrimque vi pro gloria atque imperio his, illis pro salute 
certantibus, repente a tergo signa canere : ac primo mu- 
lieres et pueri, qui visum processerant, fugere ; deinde, 
uti quisque muro proximus erat, postremo cuncti, armati 
inermesque. Quod ubi accidit, eo acrius Romani in- 
stare, fundere, ac plerosque tantummodo sauciare ; dein 
super occisorum corpora vadere, avidi glorias certantes 
murum petere, neque quemquam omnium prasda mo- 
rari. Sic forte correcta Marii temeritas gloriam ex cul 
pa invenit. 

XCV. Ceterum dum ea res geritur, L. Sulla quaestor 
cum magno equitatu in castra venit : quos uti ex Latio 
et a sociis cogeret, Romae relictus erat. Sed quoniam 
nos tanti viri res admonuit, idoneum visum est, de natura 
cultuque ejus paucis dicere : neque enim alio loco de 



76 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

Sullae rebus dicturi sumus, et L. Sisenna optime et 
diligentissime omnium, qui eas res dixere, persecutus 
parum mihi libero ore locutus videtur. Igitur Sulla 
gentis patriciae nobilis fuit, familia prope jam exstincta 
majorum ignavia : litteris Graecis ac Latinis juxta, atque 
doctissime, eruditus ; animo ingenti, cupidus voluptatum, 
sed glorias cupidior, otio luxurioso esse ; tamen ab nego- 
tiis nunquam voluptas remorata, nisi quod de uxore potuit 
honestius consuli : facundus, callidus, et amicitia facilis : 
ad simulanda negotia altitudo ingenii incredibilis : multa- 
rum rerum ac maxime pecuniae largitor. Atque illi feli- 
cissimo omnium ante civilem victoriam, nunquam super 
industriam fortuna fuit; multique dubitavere, fortior an 
felicior esset : nam, postea quae fecerit, incertum habeo, 
pudeat magis, an pigeat disserere. 

XCVL Igitur Sulla, ut supra dictum est, postquam in 
Africam atque in castra Marii cum equitatu venit, rudis 
antea et ignarus belli, solertissimus omnium in paucis 
tempestatibus factus est. Ad hoc milites benigne ap- 
pellare ; multis rogantibus, aliis per se ipse dare bene- 
ficia, invitus accipere, sed ea properantius quam aes 
mutuum, reddere, ipse ab nullo repetere, magis id lab- 
orare, ut illi quam plurimi deberent; joca atque seria 
cum humillimis agere ; in operibus, in agmine atque ad 
vigilias multus adesse, neque interim, quod prava am- 
bitio solet, consulis aut cujusquam boni famam laedere, 
tantummodo neque consilio neque manu priorem alium 
pati, plerosque antevenire. Quis rebus et artibus brevi 
Mario militibusque carissimus factus. 

XCVII. At Jugurtha, postquam oppidum Capsam ali- 
osque locos munitos et sibi utiles, simul et magnam pe 
cuniam amiserat, ad Bocchum nuntios mittit, *quam 



JUGURTHA. n 

primum in Numidiam copias adduceret ; prcelii faciendi 
tempus adesse.' Quern ubi cunctari accepit, et dubium 
Nelli atque pacis rationes trahere, rursus, uti antea, prox- 
^Tios ejus donis corrumpit, ipsique Mauro pollicetur Nu- 
midise partem tertiam, si aut Romani Africa expulsi, aut, 
iiitegris suis finibus, bellum compositum foret. Eo pra3- 
mio illectus Bocchus cum magna multitudine Jugurtham 
accedit. Ita amborum exercitu conjuncto, Marium jam 
in hiberna proficiscentem, vix decima parte die reliqua, 
invadunt, rati noctem, qu33 jam aderat, et victis sibi mu- 
nimento fore, et, si vicissent, nullo impedimento, quia 
locorum scientes erant; contra Romanis utrumque ca- 
sum in tenebris difRciliorem fore. Igitur simul consul ex 
multis de hostium adventu cognovit, et ipsi hostes ade- 
rant ; et priusquam exercitus aut instrui, aut sarcinas col- 
ligere, denique antequam signum aut imperium ullum 
accipere quivit, equites Mauri atque Gaetuli, non acie 
neque uUo more proelii, sed catervatim, uti quosque fors 
conglobaverat, in nostros incurrunt. Qui omnes trep- 
idi improviso metu, ac tamen virtutes memores, aut arma 
capiebant, aut capientes alios ab hostibus defensabant: 
pars equos ascendere, obviam ire hostibus : pugna latro- 
cinio magis quam proelio similis fieri : sine signis, sine 
ordinibus equites pedites permixti caedere alios, alios 
obtruncare ; multos, contra adversos acerrime pugnantes, 
ab tergo circumvenire : neque virtus neque arma satis 
tegere, quod hostes numero plures et undique circmfusi 
erant. Denique Romani veteres et ob ea scientes belli, 
si quos locus aut casus conjunxerat, orbes facere, atque 
ita ab omnibus partibus simul tecti et instructi hostium 
im sustentabant. 
XCVIII. Neque in eo tam aspero negotio Marius ter- 



78 ^ C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

ritus, aut magis quam antea demisso animo fuit; sej 
cum turma sua, quam ex fortissimis magis quam famil- 
larissimis paraverat, vagari passim, ac modo laboranti- 
bus suis succurrere, modo hostes, ubi confertissimi ob- 
stiterant, invadere ; manu consulere militibus, quoniam 
imperare, conturbatis omnibus, non poterat. Jamque 
dies consumptus erat, quum tamen barbari nihil remit- 
tere, atque, uti reges praeceperant, noctem pro se rati, 
acriiis instare. Turn Marius ex copia rerum consilium 
trahit, atque, uti suis receptui locus esset, colles duos 
propinquos inter se occupat, quorum in uno, castris pa- 
rum amplo, fons aquae magnus erat, alter usui opportu- 
nus quia magna parte editus et praeceps pauca munimen- 
ta quaerebat. Ceterum apud aquam Sullam cum equit 
ibus noctem agitare jubet : ipse paulatim disperses mil- 
ites, neque minus hostibus conturbatis, in unum contra- 
hit, dein cunctos pleno gradu in collem subducit. Ita 
reges, loci difficultate coacti, prcelio deterrentur ; neque 
tamen sues longius abire sinunt, sed, utroque coUe mul- 
titudine circumdato, effusi consedere. Dein crebris ig- 
nibus factis, plerumque noctis barbari suo more laetari, 
exsultare, strepere vocibus, et ipsi duces feroces, quia non 
fugerent, pro victoribus agere. Sed ea cuncta Romanis, 
ex tenebris et editioribus locis facilia visu, magnoque 
hortamento erant. 

XCIX. Plurimiim vero Marius imperitia hostium con- 
firmatus, quam maximum silentium haberi jubet; ne 
signa quidem, uti per vigilias solebant, canere. Deinde, 
ubi lux adventabat, defessis jam hostibus et paulo ante 
somno captis, de improviso vigiles, item cohortium, tur- 
marum, legionum tubicines simul omnes signa canere, 
milites clamorem tollere atque portis erumpere. Mauri 



JUGURTHA. 79 

atque Gsetuli, ignoto et horribili sonitu repente exciti, 
neque fugere, neque arma capere, neque omnino facere 
aut providere quidquam poterant: ita cunctos strepilu, 
clamore, nuUo subveniente, nostris instantibus, tumultu, 
terrore, formido, quasi vecordia, ceperat. Denique om- 
nes fusi fugatique : arma et signa militaria pleraque cap- 
ta; pluresque eo proelio quam omnibus superioribus in- 
terempti : nam somno et metu insolito impedita fuga. 

C. Dein Marius, uti coeperat, in hiberna proficiscitur, 
quas propter commeatum in oppidis maritimis agere de- 
creverat. Neque tamen victoria socors aut insolens factus, 
sed, pariter ac in conspectu hostium, quadrato agmine in- 
cedere. Sulla cum equitatu apud dextimos, in sinistra A. 
Manlius cum funditoribus et sagittariis, pr^terea co- 
hortes Ligurum curabat ; primos et extremos cum expe- 
ditis manipulis tribunos locaverat. Perfugas, minime carl 
et regionum scientissimi, hostium iter explorabant. Si- 
mul consul, quasT nuUo imposito, omnia providere, apud 
omnes adesse, laudare, increpare merentes. Ipse arma- 
tus intentusque, item milites cogebat ; neque secus, atque 
iter facere, castra munire, excubitum in porta cohortes 
ex legionibus, pro castris equites auxiliarios mittere, pras- 
teroa alios super vallum in munimentis locare : vigilias 
ipse circumire» non tarn difRdentia futurum, qu£e im- 
peravisset, quam uti militibus exsequatus cum impera- 
tore labos volentibus esset. Et sane Marius illoque aliis- 
que temporibus Jugurthini belli pudore magis quam malo 
exercitum coercebat: quod multi per ambitionem fieri 
aiebant, pars, quod a pueritia consuetam duritiam et alia, 
quae ceteri miserias vocant, voluptati habuisset: nisi ta- 
men respublica pariter ac ssevissimo imperio, bene atque 
decore gesta.

CI. Igitur quarto denique die, baud longe ao oppido 
Cirta undique simul speculatores citi sese ostendunt, 
qua re hostes adesse intelligitur. Sed quia diversi rede- 
untes, alius ab alia parte, atque omnes idem significa- 
bant, consul incertus, quonam modo aciem instrueret^ 
nullo ordine comnriiitato, adversum omnia paratus ibi- 
dem opperitur. Ita Jugurtham spes frustrata, qui copias 
in quatuor partes distribuerat, ratus ex omnibus seque 
aliquos ab tergo hostibus venturos. Interim Sulla, quern 
primum hostes attigerant, cohortatus suos, turmatim et 
quam maxime confertis equis, ipse aliique Mauros inva- 
dunt ; ceteri in loco manentes ab jaculis eminus emissis 
corpora tegere, et, si qui in manus venerant, obtruncare. 
Dum eo modo equites proeliantur, Bocchus cum peditibus, 
quos Volux filius ejus adduxerat, neque in priore pugna, 
in itinere morati, adfuerant, postremam Romanorum 
aciem invadunt. Tum Marius apud primos agebat, quod 
ibi Jugurtha cum plurimis erat. Dein Numida, cognito 
Bocchi adventu, clam cum paucis ad pedites convertit : 
ibi Latine (nam apud Numantiam loqui didiceiat) excla- 
mat, ' nostros frustra pugnare ; paulo ante Marium sua 
manu interfectum :' simul gladium sanguine oblitum osten- 
dere, quem in pugna, satis impigre occiso pedite nostro, 
cruentaverat. Quod ubi milites accepere, magis atroci- 
tate rei quam fide nuntii terrentur, simulque barbari ani- 
mos tollere, et in perculsos Romanos acrius incedere. 
Jamque paulum ab fuga aberant, quum Sulla, profligatis 
iis, quos adversum ierat, rediens ab latere Mauris incurrit. 
Bocchus statim avertitur. At Jugurtha, dum sustentare 
suos et prope jam adeptam victoriam retinere cupit, cir 
cumventus ab equitibus, dextra, sinistra omnibus occisis, 
solus inter tela hostium vitabundus erumpit. Atque inter 



^ JUGURTHA. 81 

im Marius, fugatis equitibus, accurrit auxilio suis, quos 
pelli jam acceperat. Denique hostes jam undique fusi 
Tum spectaculum horribile in campis patentibus : sequi, 
fugere, occidi, capi ; equi atque viri afflicti, ac multi, 
vulneribus acceptis, neque fugere posse, neque quietem 
pati; niti modo, ac statim concidere: postremo omnia, 
qua visus erat, constrata telis, armis, cadaveribus, et inter 
ea humus infecta sanguine. 

CII. Postea loci consul, baud dubie jam victor, perve- 
nit in oppidum Cirtam, quo initio profectus intenderat. 
E6 post diem quintum, quam iterum barbari male pug- 
naverant, legati a Boccho veniunt, qui regis verbis ab 
Mario petivere, ' duos quam fidissimos ad eum mitteret : 
velle de suo et de populi Romani commodo cum iis dis- 
serere.' Ille statim L. Sullam et A. Manlium ire jubet. 
Qui quamquam acciti ibant, tamen placuit verba apud 
regem facere, uti ingenium aut aversum flecterent, aut 
cupidum pacis vehementiiis accenderent. Itaque Sulla, 
cujus facundise, non setati a Manlio concessum, pauca 
verba hujuscemodi locutus : 

" Rex Bocche, magna nobis Isetitia est, quum te talem 
virum di monuere, uti aliquando pacem quam bellum 
malles ; neu te optimum cum pessimo omnium Jugurtha 
miscendo commaculares ; simul nobis demeres acerbam 
necessitudinem, pariter te erranlem et ilium sceleratissi- 
mum persequi. Ad hoc populo Romano jam a principio 
melius visum, amicos quam servos quaerere : tutiusque 
rati, volentibus quam coactis imperitare. Tibi vero nulla 
opportunior nostra amicitia: primum quod procul absu- 
mus, in quo offensae minimum, gratia par, ac si prope ad- 
essemus: dein, quod parentes abunde habemus, amicorum 
' neque nobis neque cuiquam omnium satis fuit. Atque 



82 C. CRISPI SALLUSTIT 

noc utinam a principio tibi placuisset ! Profecto ex pop- 
ulo Romano ad hoc tempus multo plura bona accepisses, 
qaam mala perpessus es. Sed quoniam humanarum re 
rum Fortuna pleraque regit, cui scilicet placuisse te et 
vim et gratiam nostram experiri, nunc, quando per illam 
licet, festina, atque, uti coepisti, perge. Multa atque op- 
portuna habes, quo facilius errata ofRciis superes. Pos- 
tremo hoc in pectus tuum demitte, nunquam populum Ro- 
manum beneficiis victum esse ; nam, bello quid valeat, 
tute scis." 

Ad ea Bocchus placide et benigne; simul pauca pro 
delicto suo verba facit : * Se non hostili animo, sed ob 
regnum tutandum arma cepisse : nam Numidiae partem, 
unde vi Jugurtham expulerit, jure belli ^uam factam; 
earn vastari a Mario pati nequivisse: prseterea, missis

SuUse et Manlii, metuens id, quod parabatur, donis cor-

CIII. Marius interea, exercitu in hibernis composito, 
cum expeditis cohortibus et parte equitatus proficiscitur 
in loca sola, obsessum turrim regiam, quo Jugurtha per- 
fugas omnes pra^sidium imposuerat. Tum rursus Boc- 
chus, seu reputando, quae sibi duobus prceliis venerant, 
seu admonitus ab aliis amicis, quos incorruptos Jugurtha 
reliquerat, ex omni copia necessariorum quinque delegit, 
quorum et fides cognita, et ingenia validissima erant. 
Eos ad Marium, ac deinde, si placeat, Romam legatos ire 
jubet ; agendarum rerum, et quocumque modo belli com* 
oonendi licentiam ipsis permittit. Illi mature ad hiber-

na Romanorum proficiscuntur : deinde in itinere a Gas- 
tulis latronibus circumventi spoliatique, pavidi, sine de- 
core ad Sullam perfugiunt, quern consul in expeditionem 
proficiscens pro praetore reliquerat. Eos ille non pro 
vanis hostibus, ut meriti erant, sed accurate ac liberaliter 
Iiabuit ; qua re barbari et famam Romanorum avaritiae 
falsam, et Sullam, ob munificentiam in sese, amicum rati. 
Nam etiamtum largitio multis ignota erat; munificus 
nemo putabatur, nisi pariter volens; dona omnia in benig- 
nitate habebantur. Igitur quaestori mandata Bocchipat- 
efaciunt ; simul ab eo petunt, uti fautor consultorque sibi 
adsit : copias, fidem, magnitudinem regis sui, et alia, quae 
aut utilia, aut benevolentiae credebant, oratione extollunt : 
dein, Sulla omnia pollicito, docti, quo modo apud Marium, 
item apud senatum, verba facerent, circiter dies quadra- 
ginta ibidem opperiuntur. 

CIV. Marius postquam, confecto, quo intenderat, nego- 
tio, Cirtam redit, de advent u legatorum certior fact us, 
illosque et Sullam ab Utica venire jubet, item L. Bellie- 
numpraBtorem,praeterea omnes undique senatorii ordinis; 
quibuscum mandata Bocchi cognoscit, quis legatis potes- 
tas eundi Romam ab consule, interea induciae postula- 
bantur. Ea Suite et plerisque placuere : pauci ferocius 
decernunt, scilicet ignari humanarum rerum, quae fluxae 
et mobiles semper in ad versa mutantur. Ceterum Mau- 
ri, impetratis omnibus, tres Romam profecti sunt, cum 
Cn. Octavio Rufo, qui quaestor stipendium in Africam 
porta verat: duo ad regem redeunt. Ex his Bocchus 
quum cetera, turn maxime benignitatem et studium Sul- 
lae libens accepit. Romae legatis ejus, postquam * errasse

atus et populus Romanus beneficii et injuriae memor esso 
solet : ceterum Boccho, quoniam poenitet, delicti gratiam 
facit : fcedus et amicitia dabuntur, quum meruerit." 

CV. Quis rebus cognitis, Bocchus per litteras a Marie 
petivit, ' uti Sullam ad se mitteret, cujus arbitratu do 
communibus negotiis consuleretur.' Is missus cum prae- 
sidio equitum atque peditum, item funditorum Belearium : 
prceterea iere sagittarii et cohors Peligna cum velitaribus 
armis, itineris properandi causa ; neque his secus atque 
aliis armis adversum tela hostium, quod ea levia sunt, 
muniti. Sed in itinere, quinto denique die, Volux, filius 
Bocchi, repente in campis patentibus cum mille non am- 
plius equitibus sese ostendit ; qui temere et effuse eunteb' 
Sullae aliisque omnibus et numerum ampliorem vero, et 
hostilem metum efficiebant. Igitur se quisque expe- 
dire, arma atque tela tentare, intendere : timer aliquan- 
tus, sed spes amplior, quippe victoribus, et adversum eos, 
quos saepe vicerant. Interim equites exploratum prae- 
missi, rem, uti erat, quietam nuntiant. 

CVI. Volux adveniens quaestorem appellat dicitque * se 
a patre Boccho obviam iUis simul, et praBsidio missum.* 
Deinde eum et proximum diem sine metu conjuncti eunt 
Post, ubi castra locata, et diei vesper erat, repente Mau- 
rus incerto vultu, pavens ad Sullam accurrit, dicitque 
* sibi ex speculatoribus cognitum, Jugurtham baud procul 
abesse :' simul, ' uti noctu clam secum profugeret,' rogat 
atque hortatur. Ille animo feroci negat ' se totiens fusum 
Numidam pertimescere : ' virtuti suorum satis credere : 
etiam si certa pestis adesset, mansurum potius,quamprod- 
itis, quos ducebat, turpi fuga incertae ac forsitan post 
paulo morbo interiturse vitae parceret.' Ceterum ab eo- 
dem monitus, * uti noctu proficiscerentur,' consilium appro-

bat : ac statim * milites coenatos^ esse, in castris ignes 
quam creberrimos fieri, dein prima vigilia silsntio egredi' 
jubet. Jamque nocturno itinere fessis omnibus, Sulla 
pariter cum ortu solis castra metabatur, quum equites 
Mauri nuntiant Jugurtham circiter duum millium inter- 
vallo ante consedisse. Quod postquam auditum est, turn 
vero ingens metus nostros invadit : credere se proditos a 
Voluce et insidiis circumventos : ac fuere, qui dicerent 
manu vindicandum, neque apud ilium tantum scelus inui- 
tum relinquendum. 

CVIL At Sulla, quamquam eadem existimabat, tamen 
ab injuria Maurum prohibet. Suos hortatur, ' uti fortem 
animum gererent : saepe ante paucis strenuis adversum 
multitudinem bene pugnatum : quanto sibi in prcelio 
minus pepercissent, tanto tutiores fore : nee quemquam 
decere, qui manus armaverit, ab inermis pedibus auxili- 
um petere, in maximo metu nudum et caecum corpus ad 
hostes vertere.' Deinde Volucem, quoniam hostiliafac 
eret, Jovem maximum obtestatus, ut sceleris atque per- 
fidiae Bocchi testis adesset, ex castris abire jubet. Ille 
lacrymans orare, ' ne ea crederet : nihil dolo factum, ac 
magis calliditate Jugurthas, cui, videlicet speculanti, iter 
suum cognitum esset. Ceterum, quoniam neque ingen- 
tem multitudinem haberet, et spes opesque ejus ex patre 
suo penderent, credere ilium nihil palam ausurum, quum 
ipse filius testis adesset : quare optimum factum videri, 
per media ejus castra palam transire: sese, vel praemissis 
vel ibidem relictis Mauris, solum cum Sulla iturum.' Ea 
res, ut in tali negotio, probata : ac statim profecti, quia 
de improviso acciderant, dubio atque haesitante Jugurtha, 
incolumes transeunt. Deinde paucis diebus, f^uo ire in- 
tenderant, perventum est.

CVIII. Ibi cum Boccho Numida quidam, Aspar nom 
*ne, multum et familiariter agebat ; prsemissus ab Jugur- 
tha, postquam Sullam accitum audierat, orator, et sub- 
dole speculatum Bocchi consilia : prasterea Dabar, Mas- 
sugradse filius, ex gente Masinissse, ceterum materno 
genere impar (nam pater ejus ex concubina ortus erat) 
Mauro ob ingenii multa bona carus acceptusque. Quem 
Bocchus fidum esse Romanis multis ante tempestatibus 
expertus, illico ad Sullam nuntiatum mittit, 'paraium sese 
facere, quas populus Romanus vellet: colloquio diem, 
iOCum, tempus ipse deligeret ; consulta sese omnia cum 
illo integra habere: neu Jugurthas legatum pertimesceret ; 
quo res communis licentius gereretur; nam ab insidiis 
ejus alitor caveri nequivisse.' Sed ego comperior Boc- 
chum magis Punica fide, quam ob ea, quae praedicabat, 
simul Romanes et Numidam spe pacis attinuisse, multum- 
que cum animo suo volvere solitum, Jugurtham Romanis, 
an illi Sullam traderet : libidinem adversum nos, metum 
pro nobis suasisse. 

CIX. Igitur Sulla respondit, *pauca coram Aspare 
locuturum ; cetera occulte, aut nullo aut quam paucissi- 
mis praesentibus ;' simul edocet, quae sibi responderentur. 
Postquam, sicuti voluerat, congressi, dicit * se missum a 
consule venisse quaesitum ab eo, pacem an bellum agita- 
turus foret.' Tum rex, uti praeceptum fuerat, ' post diem 
decimum redire' jubet; * ac nihil etiam nunc decrevisse/ 
sed illo die responsurum :' deinde ambo in sua castra 
digressi. Sed ubi plerumque noctis processit, Sulla a 
Boccho occulte arcessitur: ab utroque tantummodo fidi 
interpretes adhibentur ; praeterea Dabar internuntius, 
sanctus vir et ex sententia ambobus : ac statim sic rex 
incipit : 



JUGURTHA. 87 

ex. " Nunquam ego ratus sum fore, uti rex maximus 
in hac terra et omnium, quos novi, privato homini gra- 
tiam deberem. Et, mehercule, Sulla, ante te cognitum, 
multis orantibus, aliis ultro egomet opem tuli, nuUius in- 
digui. Id imminutum, quod ceteri dolere solent, ego lae- 
tor : fuerit mihi eguisse aliquando amicitiae tuae, qua apud 
animum meum nihil carius habeo. Id adeoexperiri licet* 
arma, viros, pecuniam, postremo quidquid animo libet, 
sume, utere: et, quoad vivos, nunquam tibi reditam gra- 
tiam putaveris; semper apud me integra erit: denique 
nihil, me sciente, frustra voles. Nam, ut ego existimo, 
regem armis quam munificentia vinci minus flagitiosum. 
Ceteriim de republica vestra, cujus curator hue missus es, 
paucis accipe. Bellum ego populo Romano neque feci, 
neque factum unquam volui : fines meos adversum arma- 
tos armis tutatus sum. Id omitto, quando vobis ita pla- 
cet : gerite, uti vultis cum Jugurtha bellum. Ego flu men 
Mulucham, quod inter me et Micipsam fuit, non egrediar, 
neque Jugurtham id intrare sinam. Prseterea, si quid 
meque vobisque dignum petiveris, haud repulsus abibis." 

CXI. Ad ea Sulla pro se breviter et modice ; de pace 
et de communibus rebus multis disseruit. Denique regi 
patefecit, * quod poUiceatur, senatum et populum Roma- 
num, quoniam amplius armis valuissent, non in gratiam 
habituros; faciendum aliquid, quod illorum magis quam 
sua retuUsse videretur. Id adeo in promptu esse, quo- 
niam Jugurthae copiam haberet : quem si Romanis trad- 
idisset, fore, uti illi plurimum deberetur; amicitiam, 
foedus, Numidise partem, quam nunc peteret, tunc ultro 
adventuram.' Rex primo negitare : * affinitatem, cogna- 
tionem, praeterea foedus intervenisse: ad hoc metuere, ne,

gurtha caras, et Romarii invisi erant:' denique ssepius 
fatigatus, lenitur, et ex voluntate Sullse ' omnia se factu- 
rum' promittit. Ceterum ad simulandam pacem, cujiis 
Numida, defessus bello, avidissimus, quae utilia visa, con- 
stituunt. Ita, composito dolo, digrediuntur. 

CXII. At rex postero die Asparem, Jugurthas legatum, 
appellat, dicitque * sibi per Dabarem ex Sulla cognitum, 
posse conditionibus bellum poni: quamobrem regis sui 
sententiam exquireret.' Hie laetus in castra Jugurthae ve- 
nit. Deinde, ab illo cuncta edoctus, properato itinere, 
post diem octavum redit ad Bocchum, et ei nuntiat ' Ju- 
gurtham cupere omnia, quae imperarentur, facere, sed 
Mario parum fidere : saepe antea cum imperatoribus Ro- 
manis pacem conventam frustra fuisse. Ceterum Boc- 
chus, si ambobus consultum, et ratam pacem vellet, daret 
operam, ut una ab omnibus, quasi de pace, in colloquium 
veniretur, ibique sibi Sullam traderet. Quum talem vi- 
rum in potestatem habuisset, tum fore, uti jussu senatus 
atque populi Romani foedus fieret : neque hominem nobi- 
lem, non sua ignavia sed ob rempublicam in hostium 
potestate, relictum iri.' 

CXIII. Haec Maurus secum ipse diu volvens tandem 
promisit. Ceterum dolo an vere cunctatus, parum com- 
perimus : sed pleriimque regiae voluntates, ut vehementes, 
sic mobiles, saepe ipsae sibi adversae. Postea, tempore et 
loco constituto, in colloquium uti de pace veniretur, Boc- 
chus Sullam modo, modo Jugurthae legatum appellare, 
benigne habere, idem ambobus polliceri : illi pariter laeti, 
ac spei bonae pleni esse. Sed nocte ea, quae proxima fuit 
ante diem colloquio decretum, Maurus, adhibitis amicis, 
ac statim, immutata voluntate, remotis, dicitur secum 
ipse multa agitavisse, vultu corporis pariter atque animo

varius : quas scilicet, tacente ipso, occulta pectoris pate- 
fecisse. Tamen postremo Sullam arcessiri jubet, et ex 
ejus sententia Numidae insidias tendit. Deinde, ubi dies 
advenit, et ei nuntiatum est Jugurtham baud procul 
abesse ; cum paucis amicis et qusestore nostro, quasi ob- 
vius honoris causa, procedit in tumulum facillimum visu 
insidiantibus. Eodem Numida cum plerisque necessariis 
suis inermis, uti dictum erat, accedit ; ac statim, signo 
dato, undique simul ex insidiis invaditur. Ceteri obtrun- 
cati : Jugurtha Sullae vinctus traditur, et ab eo ad Marium 
deductus est. 

CXIV. Per idem tempus adversum Gallos, ab ducibus 
nostris Q. Caspione et Cn. Manlio male pugnatum : quo 
metu Italia omnis contremuerat. Ibique et inde usque ad 
nostram memoriam Romani sic habuere : ' alia omnia 
virtuti suae prona esse ; cum Gallis pro salute, non pro 
gloria certare.' Sed postquam bellum in Numidia con- 
fectum, et Jugurtham vinctum adduci Romam nuntiatum 
est, Marius consul absens factus, et ei decreta provincia 
Gallia : isque calendis Januariis magna gloria consul tri-

BELLUM CATILINARIUM, 

SITE 

DE CONJURATIONECATILINiE. 



I. Omnes homines, qui sese student prsestare ceteris 
animalibus, summa ope niti decet, ne vitam silentio 
transeant, veluti pecora, quae natura prona atque ventri 
obedientia finxit. [Sed nostra ononis vis in animo et 
coi-pore sita estj^animi imperio, corporis servitio magis 
utimur: alterum nobis cum dis, alterum cum belluis 
commune est. Quo mihi rectius videtur ingenii quam 
virium opibus gloriam quoerere, et, buoniam vita ipsa, 
qua fruimur, brevis est, memoriam nostri quam max- 
ime longam efficere. | Nam divitiarum et formse gloria 
fluxa atque fragilis est ; virtus clara asternaque habetur. 
Sed diu magnum inter mortales certamen fuit, vine cor- 
poris an virtute animi res militaris magis procederet; 
nam et, prius quam incipias, consulto, et, ubi consulue- 
ris, mature facto opus est. Ita utrumque per se indigens, 
alterum alterius auxilio eget. 

II. Igitur initio reges (nam in terris nomen imperii id 
piimum fuit) diversi, pars ingenium, alii corpus exerce- 
bant: etiamtum vita hominum sine cupiditate agitaba- 
tur, sua cuique satis placebant. Postea vero quam in

coepere urbes atque nationes subigere, libidinem domi. 
nandi causam belli habere, maximam gloriam in maximo 
imperio putare ; turn demum periculo atque negotiis com- 
pertum est in bello plurimum ingenium posse. Quod si 
regum atque imperatorum animi virtus in pace ita uti in 
bello valeret, ^quabilius atque constantius sese res hu- 
manse haberent ; neque aliud alio ferri, neque mutari ac 
misceri omnia cerneres. Nam imperium facile his arti- 
bus retinetur, quibus initio partum est. Verum ubi pro 
labore desidia, pro continentia et aequitate libido atque 
superbia invasere, fortuna simul cum moribus immuta- 
tur. Ita imperium semper ad optimum quemque a mi- 
nus bono transfertur. Quae homines arant, navigant, 
sedificant, virtuti omnia parent. Sed multi mortales, 
dediti yentri atque somno, indocti incultique vitam, 
sicuti peregrinantes, transiere ; quibus profecto contra 
naturam corpus voluptati, anima oneri fuit. Eorum ego 
vitam mortemque juxta sestimo, quoniam de utraque sile- 
tur. Verum enimvero is demum mihi vivere atque frui 
anima videtur, qui, aliquo negotio intentus, prasclarifacin- 
oris aut artis bonse famam quserit. Sed in magna copia 
rerum aliud ahi natura iter ostendit. 

III. Pulchrum est bene facere reipublicse ; etiam bene 
dicere baud absurdum est; vel pace vel bello clarum 
fieri licet ; et qui fecere, et qui facta alioruQi scripsere, 
multi laudantur. Ac mihi quidem, tametsi haudqua- 
quam paF glc^ria sequitur scriptorem et auctorem rerum, 
tamen in primis arduum videtur res gestas scribere : pri- 
mum, quod facta dictis sunt exsequanda ; dehinc, quia 
plerique, quae delicta reprehenderis, malevolentia et in- 
vidia dicta putant ; ubi de magna virtute et gloria bono- 
rum memores, quae sibi quisque facilia factu putat, aequo

animo accipit; supra ea, veluti ficta pro falsis ducit. Sod 
ego adolescentulus initio, sicuti plerique, studio ad lem- 
publicam latus sum, ibique mihi ad versa multa fuere. 
Nam pro pudore, pro abstinentia, pro virtute, audacia, 
largitio, avaritia vigebant. Quas tametsi animus asper- 
nabatur, insolens malarum artium, tamen_inter tanta 
vitia imbecilla setas ambitione xjorrupta tenebatur; ac 
me, quum ab reliquis malis moribus dissentirem, nihilo 
minus honoris cupido eademque, quae ceteros, fama atque 
invidia vexabat. — 

IV. Igitur ubi animus ex multis miseriis atque pericu- 
lis requievit, et mihi reUquam setatem a repubUc^ procul 
habendam decrevi, non fuit consihum socordia atque 
desidia bonum otium conterere ; neque vero agrum co- 
lendo aut venando, serviHbus officiis, intentum setatem 
agere ; sed a quo incepto studioque me ambitio mala de- 
tinuerat, eodem regressus, staUii res gestas popuU Romani 
carptim, ut quseque memona digna videbantur, perscrib- 
ere ; eo magis, quod mihi a spe, metu, partibus reipub- 
licae animus hber erat. Igitur de CatiHnae conjuratione, 
quam verissime potero, paucis abspjvam. Nam id faci- 
nus in primis ego memorabile existimo sceleris atque 
pericuK novitate. De cujus hominis moribus pauca priiis 
explananda sunt, quam initium narrandi faciam. 

V. Lucius Catilina, nobili genere natus, fuit magna vi 
et animi et corporis, sed ingenio malo pravoque. Huic 
ab adolescentia beila intestina, csedes, rapinse, discordia 
civiHs grata fuere, ibique juventutem suam exercuit. 
Corpus patiens inediae, vigihae, algoris, supra quam cui- 
quam credibile est. Animus audax, subdolus, varius, 
cujus rei hbet simulator ac dissimulator, alieni appetens, 
sui profusus, ardens in cupiditatibus ; satis eloquentiae,

sapientias parum. Vastus animus immoderata, incredi- 
DiSa, nimis alta semper cupiebat. Hunc post domina- 
tionem Lucii Suite libido maxima invaserat reipublica) 
capiendae ; neque id quibus modis assequeretur, dum sibi 
regnum pararet, quidquam pensi habebat. Agitabatui 
magis magisque in dies animus ferox inopia rei familiaris 
et conscientia scelerum ; qua3 utraque his artibus auxerat, 
quas supra memoravi. Incitabant praeterea corrupti civ- 
itatis mores, quos pessima ac diversa inter se mala, luxu- 
ria atque avaritia, vexabant. Res ipsa hortari videtur, 
quoniam de moribus civitatis tempus admonuit, supra 
repetere, ac paucis instituta majorum domi militiseque, 
quomodo rempublicam habuerint, quantamque rejique- 
rint, ut paulatim immutata, ex pulcherrima pessima ac 
flagitiosissima facta sit, disserere. 

VVI. Urbem Romam, sicuti ego accepi, condidere atque 
habuere initio Trojani, qui, Aenea duce, profugi sedi- 
bus incertis vagabantur; cumque his Aborigines, genus 
hominum agreste, sine legibus, sine imperio, liberum at- 
que solutum. Hi postquam in una moenia convenere, 
dispari genere, dissimiU lingua, alius alio more viventes, 
incredibile memoratu est, quam facile coaluerint. Sed 
postquam res eorum civibus, moribus, agris aucta, satis 
prospera satisque pollens videbatur, sicuti pleraque mor- 
talium habentur, invidia ex opulentia orta est. Igitur 
reges populique finitimi bello tentare, pauci ex amicis 
auxilio esse ; nam ceteri metu perculsi a pericuUs abe- 
rant. At Romani domi militiaeque intenti fcstinare, 
parare, alius alium hortari, hostibus obviam ire, liber- 
tatem, patriam parentesque armis tegere. Post, ubi 
pericula virtute propulerant, sociis atque amicis auxilia 
Dortabant ; magisque dandis quam accipiendis beneficiis 



C A T I L I N A . 95 

amicitias parabant. Imperium legitimum, nomen im- 
perii regium habebant: delecti, quibus corpus anms m- 
firmum, ingenium sapientia validum erat, teipublicae con- 
sultabant. Hi vel aetate vel curag similitudine Patres 
appellabantiir. Post, ubi regium imperium, quod initio 
conserva^dfe libertatis atque augendae reipublicae fuerat, 
in superbiam dominationemque convertit, immutato mo- 
re, annua imperia binosque imperatores sibi fecere. Eo 
modo minime posse putabant per licentiam insolescere 
animum humanum. 

VII. Sed ea tempestate coepere se quisque magis extol- 
lere, magisque ingenium in prompt u habere. Nam regi- 
bus boni quam mali suspectiores sunt, semperque his alie- 
na virtus formidolosa est. Sed civitas, incrgdibile mem- 
oratu est, adepta libertate, quantum brevi creverit : tanta 
cupido glories incesserat. Jam primum juventus, simulac 
belli patiens erat, in castris per laboris usum militiam 
discebat ; magisque in decoris armis et militaribus equis, 
quam in scortis atque conviviis, libidinem habebant. 
Igitur talibus viris non labos insolitus, non locus ullus 
asper aut arduus erat, non armatus hostis formidolosus : 
virtus omnia domuerat. Sed glorioe maximum certamen 
inter ipsos erat : sic se quisque hostem ferire, murum as- 
cendere, conspici, dum tale facinus faceret, properabat ; 
eas divitias, eam bonam famam magnamque nobilitatem 
putabant ; laudis avidi, pecuniae liberales erant ; gloriam 
ingentem, divitias honestas volebant. Memorare pos- 
sem, quibus in locis maximas hostium copias populus 
Romanus parva manu fuderit, quas urbes natura munitas 
pugnando ceperit, ni ea res longius nos ab incepto tra- 

heret. 

VIII. Sed profecto fortuna in omni re dominatur; ea 

9*

96 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

res cunctas ex libidine magis quam ex vero celebrat ob- 
scuratque. Atheniensium res gestae, sicuti ego existimo, 
satis amplas magnificaeque fuere ; verum aliquanto mino- 
res tamen, quam fama feruntur. Sed quia provenere 
ibi scriptorum magna ingenia, per terrarum orbem Athe- 
niensium facta pro maximis celebrantur. Ita eorum, qui 
ea fecere, virtus tanta habetur, quantum verbis eam potu- 
ere extollere praeclara ingenia. At populo Romano nun- 
quam ea copia fuit, quia prudentissimus quisque nego- 
tiosus maxime erat : ingenium nemo sine corpore exer- 
cebat; optimus quisque facere quam dicere, sua ab aliis 
bene facta laudari, quam ipse aliorum narrare malebat. 
^*IX. Igitur domi militiaeque boni mores colebantur: 
Concordia maxima, minima avaritia erat; jus bonumque 
apud eos non iegibus magis quam natura valebat. Jur- 
gia, discordias, simultates cum hostibus exercebant; cives ^ 
cum civibus de virtute certabant: in suppliciis deorum I S 
magnifici, domi parci, in amicis fideles erant. Duabus' 
his artibus, audacia in bello, ubi pax evenerat, eequitate 
seque remque pubHcam curabant. Quarum rerum ego 
maxima documenta haec habeo, quod in bello saepius 
vindicatum est in eos, qui contra imperium in hostem 
pugnaverant, quique tardiiis, revocati, proeHo excesserant, 
quam qui signa relinquere, aut, pulsi loco, cedere ausi 
erant; in pace vero, quod beneficiis magis quam metu 
imperium agitabant, et, accepta injuria, ignoscere quam 
persequi malebant. 

X. Sed ubi labore atque justitia respublica crevit, reges 
magni bello domiti, nationes ferae et populi ingentes vi 
subacti, Carthago, asmula imperii Romani, ab stirpe in- 
teriit, cuncta maria terraeque patebant, saevire fortuna 
ac miscere omnia ca3pit. Qui labores, pericula, dubias 



CATILINA. 91 

atque asperas res facile toleraverant, his olium, divitiae, 
optandae alias, oneri miseriseque fuere. Igitur primo pe- 
cuniae, deinde imperii cupido crevit : ea quasi materies 
omnium malorum fuere. Namque avaritia fidem, prob- 
itatem, ceterasque artes bonas subvertit ; pro his super- 
biam, crudelitatem, deos negligere, omnia venalia ha- 
bere edocuit. Ambitio multos mortales falsos fieri sub- 
egit; aliud clausum in pectore, aliad in lingua promptum 
habere ; amicitias inimicitiasque non ex re sed ex com- 
modo sestimare, magisque vultum quam ingenium bonum 
habere. Hasc primo paulatim crescere, interdum vindi- 
cari : post, ubi contagio, quasi pestilentia, invasit, civitas 
immutata ; imperium ex justissimo atque optimo crudele 
intolerandumque factum, ^-i— 

XL Sed primo magis ambitio quam avaritia animos 
hominum exercebat, quod tamen vitium propius virtu- 
tem erat. Nam gloriam, honorem, imperium bonus et 
ignavus asque sibi exoptant ; sed ille vera via nititur, 
huic quia bonae artes desunt, dolis atque fallaciis con- 
tendit. Avaritia pecuniae studium habet, quam nemo 
sapiens concupivit : ea, quasi venenis malis imbuta, cor- 
pus animumque virilem efFeminat; semper infinita, in- 
satiabilis est, neque copia neque inopia minuitur. Sed 
postquam L. Sulla, armis recepta republica, bonis initiis 
malos eventus habuit, rapere omnes, trahere ; domum 
alius, alius agros cupere, neque modum neque modes- 
tiam victores habere^ foeda crudeliaque in cives facinora 
facere. Hue accedebat, quod L. Sulla exercitum, quem 
in Asia ductaverat, quo sibi fidum faceret, contra morem 
majorum luxuriose nimisque liberaliter habuerat. Loca 
amcena. voluptaria, facile in otio feroces militum animos 
moliiverant. Ibi primum insuevit exercitus populi Ro- 



98 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

mani amare, potare, signa, tabulas pictas, vasa cselata 
mirari, ea privatim ac publice rapere, delubra spoliare, 
sacra profanaque omnia polluere. Igitur hi milites, post- 
quam victoriam adepti sunt, nihil rehqui victis fecere. 
Quippe secundae res sapientium animos fatigant ; nedum 
illi corruptis moribus victorise temperarent. 

XII. Postquam divitiae honori esse coepere, et eas glo 
ria, imperium, potentia sequebatur, hebescere virtus, 
paupertas probro haberi, innocentia pro malevolentia 
duci coepit. Igitur ex divitiis juventutem luxuria atque 
avaritia cum superbia invasere : rapere, consumere ; sua 
parvi pendere, ahena cupere ; pudorem, pudicitiam, di- 
vina atque humana promiscua, nihil pensi neque mode- 
rati habere. Operas pretium est, quum domes atque 
villas cognoveris in urbium modum exaedificatas, visere 
templa deorum, quse nostri majores, religiosissimi mor- 
tales, fecere. Verum illi delubra deorum pietate, domes 
suas gloria decorabant ; neque victis quidquam proeter 
injuriae licentiam eripiebant. At hi contra ignavissimi 
homines, per summum scelus omnia ea sociis adimere, 
quae fortissimi viri victores hostibus reliquerant ; proinde 
quasi injuriam facere id demum esset imperio uti. 

XIII. Nam quid ea memorem, quae, nisi his, qui videre, 
nemini credibilia sunt, a privatis compluribus subversos 
monies, maria constructa esse? Quibus mihi videntui 
ludibrio fuisse divitiae; quippe, quas honeste habere Hce- 
bat, abuti per turpitudinem properabant. Sed libido 
stupri, ganeae ceterique cultus non minor incesseral ; 
* * vescendi causa terra marique omnia exquirere : 
dormire prius quam somni cupido esset; non fameni 
aut sitim, neque frigus neque lassitudinem opperiri, setl 
ua omnia luxu antecapere. Haec juventutem, ubi fa- 



C A T I L I N A . 99 

miliares opes defecerant, ad facinora incendebant. Ani- 
mus imbutus malis artibus baud facile libidinibus care 
bat : eo profusius omnibus modis quaestui atque sumptui 
deditus eral. 

XIV. In tanta tamque corrupta civitate Catilina, i;i 
quod factu facillimum erat, omnium flagitiorum atque 
facinorum circum se, tamquam stipatorum, catervas habe- 
bat. Nam quicumque impudicus, adulter, ganeo, * * 
bona patria laceraverat, quique alienam aes grande con- 
flaverat, quo flagitium aut facinus redimeret; praeterea 
omnes undique parricidae, sacrilegi, convicd judiciis, aut 
pro factis judicium timentes ; ad hoc, quos manus atque 
lingua perjurio aut sanguine civili alebat ; postremo om- 
nes, quos flagitium, egestas, conscius animus exagitabat ; 
hi Catilinae proximi familiaresque erant. Quod si quis 
etiam a culpa vacuus in amicitiam ejus inciderat, quo- 
tidiano usu atque illecebris facile par simiiisque ceteris 
efBciebatur. Sed maxime adolescentium familiaritates 
appetebat ; eorum animi molles et aetate fluxi dolis baud 
difRculteij capiebantur. Kajn . uti cujjjsque studium ex 
ffitate flagrabat, aliis scorta preebere, aliis canes atque 
equos mercari ; postremo neque sumptui neque modesti^ 
suae parcere, dum illos obnoxios fidosque sibi faceret. 
Scio fuisse nonnullos, qui ita existimarent, juventutem, 
quae domum Catilinae frequentabat, parum honeste pu- 
dicitiam habuisse; sed ex aliis rebus magis, quam quod 
cuiquam id compertum foret, heec fama valebat. 

XV. Jam primum adolescens Catilina multa nefanda 
stupra fecerat, cum virgine nobili, cum sacerdote Vestae, 
alia hujuscemodi contra jus fasque. Postremo captus 
amore Aureliae Orestillae, cujus praeter formam nihil 
imquam bonus laudavit, quod ea nubere illi dubitabat, 



100 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

timens privignum adulta estate, pro certo creditur, necato 
filio, vacuam domum scelestis nuptiis fecisse. Quae qui- 
dem res mihi in primis videtur causa fuisse facinoris 
maturandi. Namque animus impurus, dis hominibusque 
iniestus, neque vigiliis neque quietibus sedari poterat: 
ita conscientia mentem excitam vastabat. Igitur colos 
exsanguis, foedi oculi, citus modo, modo tardus incessus ; 
prorsus in facie vultuque vecordia inerat. 

XVI. Sed juventutem, quam, ut supra diximus, illexe- 
rat multis modis, mala facmora edocebat. Ex illis testes 
signatoresque falsos commodare ; fidem, fortunas, peric- 
ula vilia habere, post, ubi eorum' fa mam atque pudo- 
rem attriverat, majora alia imperabat. - Si causa pec- 
candi in prsesens minus suppetebat, nihilo minus insontes 
sicuti sontes circumvenire, jugulare; scilicet, ne per 
otium torpescerent manus aut animus, gratuito potius 
malus atque crudelis erat. His amicis sociisque confisus 
Catilina, simul quod aes alienum per omnes terras ingens 
erat, et quod plerique SuUani milites, largiiis suo usi, rapi- 
narum et victorise veteris memores civile bellum exopta- 
bant, opprimendse reipublicae consilium cepit. In Italia 
nullus exercitus ; Cn. Pompeius in extremis terris bellum 
gerebat ; ipsi consulatum petenti magna spes ; senatus 
nihil sane intentus ; tutse tranquillaeque res omnes ; sed 
ea prorsus opportuna CatiUnae. ,^ 

XVII. Igitur circiter calendas Junias, L. Csesare et 
C. Figulo consulibus, primo singulos appellare; hortari 
alios, alios tentare ; opes suas, imparatam rempublicam, 
magna pra3mia conjurationis docere. Ubi satis explorata 
sunt, qua3 voluit, in unum omnes convocat, quibus max 
ima necessitudo et plurimum audaciae inerat Eo con 
venere senatorii ordinis P. Lentulus Sura, P. Autronius, 



CATILINA. 101 

L. Cassius Longinus, C. Cethegus, P. et Servius Sullae, 
Servii filii, L. Vargunteius, Q. Annius, M. Porcius La3ca, 
L. Bestia, Q. Curius ; praeterea ex equestri ordine M 
Fulvius Nobilior, L. Statilius, P. Gabinias Capito, C. 
("ornelius : ad hoc multi ex coloniis et municipiis, domi 
nobiles. Erant praeterea complures paulo occultius con- 
silii hujusce participes nobiles, quos magis dominationis 
spes hortabatur quam inopia aut alia necessitudo. Cet- 
erum juventus pleraque, sed maxime nobilium, Catilinas 
inceptis favebat. Quibus in'otio vel magnifice vel mol- 
liter vivere copia erat, incerta pro certis, bellam quam 
pacem malebant. Fuere item ea tempestate, qui cred- 
erent M. Licinium Crassum non ignarum ejus consilii 
fuisse ; quia Cn. Pompeius, invisus ipsi, magnum exer- 
citum ductabat, cujusvis opes voluisse contra illius po- 
tentiam crescere, simul confisum, si conjuratio valuisset, 
facile aupd illos principem se fore. 

XVIII. Sed antea item conjuravere pauci contra rem- 
publicam, in quibus Catilina fuit. De quo, quam veris- 
sime potero, dicam. L. Tullo, M. Lepido consulibus, P. 
Autronius et P. Sulla, designati consules, legibus ambitus 
interrogati poenas dederant. Post paulo Catilina, pecu- 
niarum repetundarum reus, prohibitus erat consulatum 
petere, quod intra legitimes dies profiteri nequiverat. 
Erat eodem tempore Cn. Piso, adolescens nobilis, sum- 
mse audacise, egens, factiosus, quern ad perturbandam 
rempublicam inopia atque mali mores stimulabant. Cum 
hoc Catilina et Autronius circiter nonas Decembres, con- 
silio communicate, parabant in Capitolio calendis Janu- 
arils L. Cottam et L. Torquatum consules interficere ; 
ipsi, fascibus correptis, Pisonem cum exercitu ad obti- 
nendas duas Hispanias mittere. Ea re cognita, rursus 



102 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

in nonas Februarias consilium ca3dis transtulerant. Jam 
turn non consulibus modo, sed plerisque senatoribus per- 
niciem machinabantur. Quodni Catilina maturasset pro 
curia signum sociis dare, eo die post conditam urbem Ro- 
manam pessimum facinus patratum foret. Quia non- 
dum frequentes armati convenerant, ea res consilium 
diremit. 

XIX. Postea Piso in citeriorem Hispaniam quaestor 
pro prsetore missus est, adnitente Crasso, quod eum infes- 
tum inimicum Cn. Pompeio cognoverat. Neque tamen 
senatus provinciam invitus dederat ; quippe fedum hom- 
inem a republica procul esse volebat ; simul quia boni 
complures prsesidium in eo putabant, et jam tum poten- 
tia Cn. Pompeii formidolosa erat. Sed is Piso in pro- 
vincia ab equitibus Hispanis, quos in exercitu ductabat, 
iter faciens occisus est. Sunt, qui ita dicunt, imperia 
ejus injusta, superba, crudelia barbaros nequivisse pati; 
alii autem, equites illos, Cn. Pompeii veteres fidosque 
clientes, voluntate ejus Pisonem aggressos ; nunquam 
Hispanos prseterea tale facinus fecisse, sed imperia soeva 
multa antea perpessos. Nos earn rem in medio relinque- 
mus. De superiore conjuratione satis dictum. 

XX. Catilina, ubi eos, quos paulo ante memoravi, 
convenisse videt, tametsi cum singulis multa seepe egerat, 
tamen in rem fore credens universos appellare et cohor- 
tari, in abditam partem sedium secedit ; atque ibi omni- 
bus arbitris procul amotis, orationem hujuscemodi hab- 
uit. 

"Ni virtus fidesque vestra spectata mihi forent, ne- 
quidquam opportuna res cecidisset; spes magna, domi- 
natio in manibus frustra fuissent : neque ego per ignava 
aut vana ingenia incerta pro certis captarem. Sed 



CATILINA. 103 

quia multis et magnis tempestatibus vos cognovi fortes 
fidosque mihi, eo animus ausus est maximum atque pul- 
cherrimum facinus incipere ; simul quia vobis eadem, 
quae mihi, bona malaque esse intellexi : nam idem velle 
atque idem nolle, ea demum firma amicitia est. Sed, 
ego quae mente agitavi, omnes jam antea diversi audistis. 
Ceteriim mihi in dies magis animus accenditur, quum 
considero, qua? conditio vitae futura sit, nisi nosmet ipsi 
vindicamus in libertatem. Nam postquam respublica in 
paucorum potentium jus atque ditionem concessit, sem- 
per ilhs reges, tetrarchae vectigales esse ; populi, nationes 
stipendia pendere; ceteri omnes, strenui, boni, nobiles 
atque ignobiles, vulgus fuimus, sine gratia, sine auctori- 
tate, his obnoxii, quibus, si respublica valeret, formidini 
essemus. Itaque omnis gratia, potentia, honos, divitiae 
apud illos sunt, aut ubi illi volunt; nobis reliquere, 
pericula, repulsas, judicia, egestatem. Quae quousque 
tandem patiemini, fortissimi viri? Nonne emori per 
virtutem praestat, quam vitam miseram atque inhones- 
tam, ubi alienae superbiae ludibrio fueris, per dedecus 
amittere? Veriim enim vero, pro deum atque hominum 
fidem ! victoria in manu nobis est ; viget astas, animus 
valet: contra illis annis atque divitiis omnia consenue- 
runt. Tantummodo incepto opus est, cetera res ex- 
pediet. Etenim quis mortalium, cui virile ingenium 
inest, tolerare potest, illis divitias superare, quas profun- 
dant in exstruendo mari et montibus coaequandis, nobis 
rem familiarem etiam ad necessaria deesse ? illos binas 
aut amplius domes continuare, nobis larem familiarem 
nusquam uUum esse? Quum tabulas, signa, toreumata 
emunt, nova diruunt, alia aedificant, postremo omnibus 

modis pecuniam trahunt, vexant, tamen summa libidine 

10 



104 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

divitias vincere nequeunt. At nobis est domi inopia, foris 
35S alienum ; mala res, spes multo asperior. Denique 
quid reliqui habemus praeter miseram animam? Quin 
igitur expergiscimini ? En ilia, ilia, quam saspe optastis, 
libertas, prseterea diviti^, decus, gloria in oculis sita 
sunt ! fortuna omnia ea victoribus prsemia posuit. Res, 
tempus, pericula, egestas, belli, spolia magnifica magis, 
quam oratio mea, vos hortentur. Vel imperatore vel 
milite me utimini: neque animus neque corpus a vobis 
aberit. Haec ipsa, ut spero, vobiscum una consul agam ; 
nisi forte me animus fallit, et vos servire magis quam im- 
perare parati estis." 

XXL Postquam accepere ea homines, quibus mala; 
abunde omnia erant, sed neque res neque spes bona ulla, 
tametsi illis quieta movere magna merces videbatur, 
tamen postulare plerique, uti proponeret, quse conditio 
belli foret, quse prsemia armis peterent, quid ubique opis 
aut spei haberent. Tum Catilina polliceri tabulas no- 
vas, proscriptionem locupletium, magistratus, sacerdotia, 
rapinas, alia omnia, quse bellum atque libido victorum 
fert. Prseterea * esse in Hispania citeriore Pisonem, in 
Mauritania cum exercitu P. Sittium Nucerinum, consilii 
sui participes : petere consulatum C. Antonium, quem 
sibi collegam fore speraret, hominem et familiarem et 
omnibus necessitudinibus circumventum : cum eo se 
consulem initium agendi facturum.' Ad hoc maledictis 
increpat omnes bonos, suorum unumquemque nominans 
laudare; admonebat alium egestatis, alium cupiditatis 
suse, complures periculi aut ignominise, multos victorise 
Sullanse, quibus ea prsedae fuerat. Postquam omnium 
animos alacres videt, cohortatus ut petitionem suam 
curse haberent, conventum dimisit. 



CATILINA. 105 

XXII. Fuere ea tempestate, qui diceient Catilinam, 
oratione habita, quum ad jusjurandum populares sceleris 
sui adigeret, humani corporis sanguinem vino permix- 
turn m pateris circumtulisse ; inde, quum post exsecra- 
tionem omnes degustavissent, sicuti in solemnibus sa- 
oris fieri consuevit, aperuisse consilium, suum ; atque eo, 
dictitare, fecisse, quo inter se magis fidi forent, alius alii 
tanti facinoris conscii. Nonnulli ficta et haec et multa 
praeterea existimabant ab iis, qui Ciceronis invidiam, quae 
postea orta est, leniri credebant atrocitate sceleris eorum, 
qui poenas dederant. Nobis ea res pro magnitudine pa- 
rum comperta est. 

XXIII. Sed in ea conjuratione fuit Q. Curius, natus 
baud obscuro loco, flagitiis atque facinoribus coopertus ; 
quem censores senatu probri gratia moverant. Huic 
homini non minor vanitas inerat quam audacia : neque 
reticere, quae audierat, neque suamet ipse scelera occul- 
tare ; prorsus neque dicere neque facere quidquam pensi 
habebat. Erat ei cum Fulvia, muliere nobili, stupri vetus 
consuetudo : cui quum minus gratus esset, quia inopia 
minus largiri poterat, repente glorians maria montesque 
polliceri coepit ; minari interdum^ ferro, nisi obnoxia foret; 
postremo ferocius agitare, quam solitus erat. At Fulvia, 
insolentise Curii cadsa cognita, tale periculum reipublica^ 
baud occultum habuit ; sed, sublato auctore, de Catilino3 
conjuratione, quae quoque modo audierat, compluribus 
narravit. Ea res in primis studia hominum accendit ad 
consulatum mandandum M. Tullio Ciceroni. Namque 
antea pleraque nobilitas invidia sestuabat, et quasi pollui 
consulatum credebant, si eum quamvis egregius homo 
novus adeptus foret. Sed ubi pericuum advenit, invidia 
atque superbia post fuere. 



106 C. CRISPI SALLUSTIl 

XXIV. Igitur, comitiis habitis, consules declarantur 
M. Tullius et C. Antonius ; quod factum primo populares 
conjurationis concusserat. Neque tamen Catilinse furor 
niinuebatur, sed in dies plura agitare, arma per Italiam 
locis opportunis parare, pecuniam sua aut amicorum fide 
sumptam mutuam Fsesulas ad Manlium quemdam por- 
tare, qui postea princeps fuit belli faciendi. Ea tempes- 
tate plurimos cuj usque generis homines adscivisse sibi 
dicitur, mulieres etiam aliquot, quae primo ingentes sump- 
tus stupro corporis toleraverant, post, ubi setas tantum 
nriodo quoestui neque luxuries mcdum fecerat, ses alienum 
grande conflaverant. Per eas se Catilina credebat posse 
servitia urbana soUicitare, urbem incendere, viros earum 
vel adjungere sibi, vel interficere. 

XXV. Sed in his erat Sempronia, quae multa saepe 
virilis audaciae facinora commiserat. Haec mulier genere 
atque forma, praeterea viro atque liberis satis fortunata 
fuit : litteris Graecis atque Latinis docta, psallere et sal- 
tare elegantius, quam necesse est probae, multa aha, 
quae instrumenta luxuriae sunt. Sed ei cariora semper 
omnia quam decus atque pudicitia fuit: pecuniae an 
famae minus parceret, baud facile discerneres ; libidine 
sic accensa, ut saepius peteret viros, quam peteretur. Sed 
ea saepe antehac fidem prodiderat, creditum abjuraverat, 
caedis conscia fuerat, luxuria atque inopia praeceps abie- 
rat. Verum ingenium ejus baud absurdum ; posse ver- 
sus facere, jocum movere, sermone uti vel modesto, vel 
molli, vel procaci; prorsus multae facetiae multusque lepos 
inerat. 

XXVI. His rebus comparatis, Catilina nihilo minus Id 
proximum annum consulatum petebat ; sperans, si desig- 
natus foret, facile se ex voluntate Antonio usurum. Ne- 



CATILINA. 107 

que interea quietus erat, sed omnibus modis insidias 
parabat Ciceroni. Neque illi tamen ad cavendum dolus 
aut astutise deerant. Namque a principo consulatus sui, 
multa pollicendo per Fulviam, effecerat, ut Q. Curius, 
de quo paulo ante memoravi, consilia Catilinas sibi prod- 
cret. Ad hoc collegam suum Antonium pactione pro- 
vinciae perpulerat, ne contra rempublicam sentiret : cir- 
cum se prassidia amicorum atque clientium occulte habe- 
bat. Postquam dies comitiorum venit, et Catilinae neque 
petitio neque insidias, quas consuli in campo fecerat, pros- 
pere cessere, constituit bellum facere, et extrema omnia 
experiri, quoniam quae occulte tentaverat, aspera foedaque 
evenerant. 

XXVII. Igitur C. Manlium Fassulas atque in eam 
partem Etruri^, Septimium quemdam Camertem in 
agrum Picenum, C. Julium in Apuliam dimisit; prae- 
terea alium alio, quern ubique opportunum sibi fore cre- 
debat. Interea Romae multa simul moliri; consuli in- 
sidias tendere, parare incendia, opportuna loca armatis 
hominibus obsidere, ipse cum telo esse, item alios ju- 
bere, hortari, uti semper intenti paratique essent, dies 
noctesque festinare, vigilare, neque insomniis neque la- 
bore fatigari. Postremo ubi multa agitanti nihil proce- 
dit, rursus intempesta noctq conjurationis principes con* 
vocat per M. Porcium Laecam, ibique multa de ignavia 
eorum questus, docet * se Manlium praemisisse ad eam 
multitudinem, quam ad capienda arma paraverat, item 
alios in alia loca opportuna, qui initium belH facerent, 
seque ad exercitum proficisci cupere, si prius Ciceronem 
oppressisset ; eum suis consiliis multum officere.' 

XXVIII. Igitur perterritis ac dubitantibus ceteris, C. 

Cornelius, eqiies Romnnn?. opera m suam pollicitus, et 

10* ' 



108 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

cum eo L. Vargunteius senator, constituere ea nocte 
paulo post cum armatis hominibus, sicuti salutatum, in- 
troire ad Ciceronem, ac de improviso domi suse impara- 
tum confodere. Curius ubi intelligit, quantum periculi 
consuli impendeat, propere per Fulviam Ciceroni dolum, 
qui parabatur, enuntiat. Ita illi, janua prohibiti, tantum 
facinus frustra susceperant. 

Interea Manlius in Etruria plebem sollicitare, egestate 
simul ac dolore injuries novarum rerum cupidam, quod 
Sull85 dominatione agros bonaque omnia amiserat ; pras- 
terea latrones cujusque generis, quorum in ea regione 
magna copia erat ; nonnullos ex Sullanis colonis, quibus 
libido atque luxuria ex magnis rapinis nihil reliqui fec- 
erant. 

XXIX. Ea quum Ciceroni nuntiarentur, ancipiti malo 
permotus, quod neque urbem ab insidiis privato consilio 
longiiis tueri poterat, neque exercitus Manlii quantus aut 
quo consilio foret, satis compertum habebat, rem ad se- 
natum refert, jam antea vulgi rumoribus exagitatam. 
Itaque, quod plerumque in atroci negotio solet, senatus 
decrevit, * darent operam consules, ne quid respublica 
detrimenti caperet.' Ea potestas per senatum, more Ro- 
mano, magistratui maxima permittitur, exercitum parare, 
bellum gerere, coercere omnibus modis socios atque cives, 
domi militiseque imperium atque judicium summum ha- 
bere; aliter sine populi jussu nulli earum rerum consuli 
jus est. 

XXX. Post paucos dies L. Saenius senator in senatu 
litteras recitavit, quas Fsesulis allatas sibi dicebat, in 
quibus scriptum erat * C. Manlium arma cepisse cum 
magna multitudine, ante diem sextum calendas Novem- 
bres.' Simul, id quod in tali re solet. alii portenta atque 



CATILINA. 109 

prodigia nuntiabant, alii * conventus fieri, arma portari, 
Capuae atque in Apulia servile bellum moveri.' Igitur 
senati decreto Q. Marcius Rex Faesulas, Q. Metellus 
Creticus in Apuliam circumque loca missi : hi utrique ad 
urbem imperatores erant, impediti, ne triumpharent, ca- 
lumnia paucorum, quibus omnia, honesta atque inhones- 
ta, vendere mos erat. Sed prsetores Q. Pompeius Ru- 
fus Capuam, Q. Metellus Celer in agrum Picenum ; bis- 
que permissum, * uti pro tempore atque periculo exerci- 
tum compararent.' Ad hoc, * si quis indicavisset de con- 
juratione, quae contra rempublicam facta erat, premium' 
decrevere ' servo libertatem et sestertia centum, libero 
impunitatem ejus rei et sestertia ducenta ;' itemque dec- 
revere, * uti gladiatoriae familise Capuam et in cetera 
municipia distribuerentur, pro cujusque opibus ; Romae 
per totam urbem vigiliae haberentur, bisque minores 
magistratus praeessent.' 

XXXI. Quibus rebus permota civitas, atque immu- 
tata urbis facies erat ; ex summa lastitia atque lascivia, 
quae diuturna quies pepererat, repente omnes tristitia in- 
vasit ; festinare, trepidare ; neque loco nee homini cui- 
quam satis credere ; neque bellum gerere, neque pacem 
habere ; suo quisque metu pericula metiri. Ad hoc mu- 
lieres, quibus relpublicae magnitudine belli timer insolitus 
inccsserat, afflictare sese, manus supplices ad ccelum ten- 
dere, miserari parvos liberos, rogitare, omnia pavere, su- 
perbia atque deliciis omissis, sibi patriaeque difRdere. At 
Catilinae crudelis animus eadem ilia movebat, tametsi 
praesidia parabantur, et ipse lege Plautia interrogatus 
erat ab L. Paulo. Postremo dissimulandi causa et ut 
sui expurgandi, sicuti jurgio lacessitus foret, in senatum 
venit. Tum M. TuUius consul, sive praesentiam ejus 



110 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

timens, sive ira commotus, orationem habuit luculenlam 
atque utilem reipublicae, quam postea scriptam edidit. 
Sed, ubi ille assedit, Catilina, ut erat paratus ad dissimu- 
landa omnia, demisso vultu, voce supplici postulare, 
* patres conscripti ne quid de se temere crederent : ea 
familia ortum, ita ab adolescentia vitam instituisse, ut 
omnia bona in spe haberet : ne existimarent, sibi, patric- 
io homini, cujus ipsius atque ma jorum plurima beneficia 
in plebem Romanam essent, perdita republica opus esse, 
quum earn servaret M. Tullius, inquilinus civis urbis 
Romas.' Ad haec maledicta alia quum adderet, obstrepere 
omnes, hostem atque parricidam vocare. Tum ille furi- 
bundus : " Quoniam quidem circumventus," inquit, " ab ini- 
micis prceceps agor, incendium meum ruina reslinguam." 

XXXII. Dein se ex curia domum proripuit. Ibi multa 
secum ipse volvens, quod neque insidiss consuli procede- 
bant, et ab incendio intelligebat urbem vigiliis munitam, 
optimum factum credens exercitum augere, ac, priiis 
quam legiones scriberentur, antecapere, qu^e bello usui 
forent, nocte intempesta cum paucis in Manliana castra 
profectus est. Sed Cethego atque Lentulo ceterisque, 
quorum cognoverat promptam audaciam, mandat, 'quibus 
rebus possent, opes factionis confirment, insidias consuli 
maturent, csedem, incendia, aliaque belli facinora parent : 
sese propediem cum magno exercitu ad urbem accessii- 
rum.' Dum haec Romae geruntur, C. Manlius ex suo 
numero legates ad Marcium Regem mittit, cum manda- 
tis hujuscemodi : 

XXXIII. " Deos hominesque testamur, imperator, nos 
arma neque contra patriam cepisse, neque quo periculum 
aliis faceremus, sed uti corpora nostra ab injuria tuta 
forent, qui miseri, egentes, violentia atque crudelitate 



CATILINA. Ill 

fceneratorum plerlque patriae, sed omnes fama atque for- 
tunis expertes sumus : neque cuiquam nostrum licuit 
more majorum lege uti, neque, amisso patrimonio, libe- 
rum corpus habere : tanta saevitia foeneratorum atque 
prastoris fuit. Saepe majores vestrum miseriti plebis 
Romanae, decretis suis inopiae opitulati sunt: ac novis^ 
sime memoria nostra, propter magnitudinem aeris alieni, 
volentibus omnibus bonis, argentum aere solutum est. 
Saepe ipsa plebes, aut dominandi studio permota, aut su- 
perbia magistratuum, armata a patribus secessit. At nos 
non imperium neque divitias petimus, quarum rerum 
causa bella atque certamina omnia inter mortales sunt, 
sed libertatem, quam nemo bonus nisi cum anima simul 
amittit. Te atque senatum obtestamur, consulatis mise- 
ris civibus ; legis praesidium, quod iniquitas praetoris eri- 
puit, restituatis ; neve eam nobis necessitudinem impona- 
tis, ut quaeramus, quonam modo, maxime ulti sanguinem 
nostrum, pereamus." 

XXXIV. Ad base Q. Marcius respondit : * Si quid ab 
senatu petere vellent, ab armis discedant, Romam sup- 
plices proficiscantur : ea mansuetudine atque misericor- 
dia senatum populumque Romanum semper fuisse, ut 
nemo unquam ab eo frustra auxilium petiverit.' At 
Catilina ex itinere plerisque consularibus, praeterea optimo 
cuique litteras mittit : • Se falsis criminibus circumventum, 
quoniam factioni inimicorum resistere nequiverit, fortunae 
cedere, Massib'am in exsilium proficisci: non quo sibi tanti 
sceleris conscius esset, sed uti respublica quieta foret, neve 
ex sua contentione seditio oriretur.' Ab his longe diversas 
litteras Q. Catulus in senatu recitavit, quas sibi nomine 
Catilinae redditas dicebat : earum exemplum infra scrip- 
tum est. 



112 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

XXXV. " L. Catilina Q. Calulo. Egregia tua fides 
re cognita gratam in magnis meis periculis fiduciam com- 
mendationi meae tribuit. Quamobrem defensionem in 
novo consilio non statui parare : satisfactionem ex nulla 
conscientia de culpa proponere decrevi : quam me dius 
fidius veram licet cognoscas. Injuriis contumeliisque 
concitatus, quod, fructu laboris industriaeque meas priva- 
tus, statum dignitatis non obtinebam, publicam misero- 
rum causam pro mea consuetudine suscepi: non quin 
8BS alienum meis nominibus ex possessionibus solvere 
possem, quum et alienis nominibus liberalitas Orestillae 
suis fili^eque copiis persolveret; sed quod non dignos 
homines honore honestatos videbam, meque falsa sus- 
picione alienatum esse sentiebam. Hoc nomine satis 
honestas pro meo casu spes reliquse dignitatis conservan- 
dae sum secutus. Plura quum scribere vellem, nuntia- 
tum est vim mihi parari. Nunc Orestillam commendo, 
tuaeque fidei trado : eam ab injuria defendas, per libe- 
ros tuos rogatus. Haveto." 

XXXVL Sed ipse paucos dies commoratus apud C 
Flaminium in agro Arretino, dum vicinitatem, antea sol- 
licitatam, armis exornat ; cum fascibus atque aliis impe- 
rii insignibus in castra ad Manlium contendit. Haec ubi 
Romae comperta sunt, senatus Catilinam et Manlium 
hostes judicat ; ceterae multitudini diem statuit, ante quam 
sine fraude liceret ab armis discedere, pra3ter rerum capi- 
talium condemnatis. Prasterea decernit, 'uti consules de- 
lect im habeant ; Antonius cum exercitu Catilinam perse- 
qui maturet; Cicero urbi praesidio sit.' Ea tempestate 
mihi imperium populi Romani multo maxime miserabile 
visum est : cui quum ad occasum ab ortu solis omnia 
domita armis parerent, domi otium atque divitiae, quae 



CATILINA. 113 

prima mortales pufant, affluerent, fuere tamen cives, qu! 
seqiie remque publicam obstinatis animis perditum irent 
Namque duobus senati decretis,.ex tanta multitudine, ne- 
que praemio inductus conjurationem patefecerat, neque ex 
castris Catilinse quisquam omnium discesserat : tanta vis 
morbi, uti tabes, plerosque civium animos invaserat. 

XXXVII. Neque solum illis aliena mens erat, qui 
conscii conjurationis fuerant, sed omnino cuncta plebes 
novarum rerum studio Catilinas incepta probabat. Id 
adeo more suo videbatur facere. Nam semper in civi- 
tate, quibus opes nullae sunt, bonis invident, malos ex 
toUunt; Vetera odere, nova exoptant; odio suarum re- 
rum mutari omnia student; turba atque seditionibus 
sine cura aluntur, quoniam egestas facile habetur sine 
damno. Sed urbana plebes, ea vero praeceps ierat mul- 
tis de causis. Primum omnium, qui ubique probro ai- 
que petulantia maxime praestabant, item alii, per dedec- 
ora patrimoniis amissis, postremo omnes, quos flagitium 
aut facinus domo expulerat, hi Romam, sicuti in senti- 
nam, confluxerant. Deinde multi memores Sullanag 
victorise, quod ex gregariis mililibus alios senatores vide- 
bant, alios ita divites, uti regio victu atque cultu aetatem 
agerent, sibi quisque, si in armis forent, ex victoria talia 
sperabant. Praeterea juventus, quae in agris manuum 
mercede inopiam toleraverat, privatis atque publicis lar- 
gitionibus excita, urbanum otium ingrato labori praetule- 
rat : eos atque alios omnes malum publicum alebat 
Quo minus mirandum est homines egentes, malis mori- 
bus, maxima spe, reipublicae juxta ac sibi consuiuisse. 
Praeterea quorum victoria Sullae parentes proscripti, 
bona erepta, jus libertatis imminutum erat, baud sane 
alio animo belli eventum exspectabant. Ad hoc qui 



114 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

cumque aliarum atque senati partium erant, conturbari 
rempublicam, quam minus valere ipsi malebant. Id adeo 
malum multos post annos in civitatem reverterat. 

XXXVIIL Nam postquam, Cn. Pompeio et M. Cras- 
so consulibus, tribunicia potestas restituta est, homines 
adolescentes, summam potestatem nacti, quibus setas 
animusque ferox erat, coepere senatum criminando ple- 
bem exagitare; dein largiendo atque pollicitando magis 
incendere; ita ipsi clari potentesque fieri. Contra eos 
summa ope nitebatur pleraque nobilitas, senati specie, 
pro sua magnitudine. Namque, uti paucis verum ab- 
solvam, per ilia tempora quicumque rempublicam agi- 
tavere, honestis nominibus, alii, sicuti populi jura defen- 
derent, pars, quo senati auctoritas maxima foret, bonum 
publicum simulantes, pro sua quisque potentia certabant : 
neque illis modestia, neque modus contentionis erat ; u- 
trique victoriam crudeliter exercebant. 

XXXIX. Sed postquam Cn. Pompeius ad bellum 
maritimum atque Mithridaticum missus est, plebis opes 
imminutse, paucorum potentia crevit. Hi magistratus, 
provincias aliaque omnia tenere ; ipsi innoxii, florentes, 
sine metu aetatem agere, ceteros judiciis terrere, qui 
plebem in magistratu placidius tractarent. Sed ubi pri- 
miim dubiis rebus novandi spes oblata est, vetus cer- 
tamen animos eorum arrexit. Quod si primo proelio 
Catilina superior aut aequa manu discessisset, profecto 
magna clades atque calamitas rempublicam oppressisset ; 
neque illis, qui victoriam adepti forent, diutius ea uti 
Hcuisset, quin defessis et exsanguibus, qui plus posset, 
imperium atque libertatem extorqueret. Fuere tamen 
extra conjurationem complures, qui ad Catilinam initio 
profecti sunt: in his erat A. Fulvius, senatoris filius, 



CATILINA. 115 

quern retractum ex itinera parens necari jussit. Isdenri 
temporibus Romse Lentulus, sicuti Catilina prasceperat, 
quoscumque moribus aut fortuna novis rebus idoneos 
credebat, aut per se aut per alios soUicitabat ; neque 
solum cives, sed cujusque modi genus hominuin quod 
niodo bello usui foret. 

XL. Igitur P. Umbreno cuidam negotium dat, uti le- 
gatos AUobrogum requirat, eosque, si possit, impellat ad 
societatem belli ; existimans publice privatimque sere 
alieno oppresses, praeterea, quod natura gens Gallica bel- 
licosa esset, facile eos ad tale consilium adduci posse. 
Umbrenus, quod in Gallia negotiatus erat, plerisque prin- 
cipibus civitatium notus erat, atque eos noverat : itaque 
sine mora, ubi primum legatos in foro conspexit, percon- 
tatus pauca de statu civitatis, et quasi dolens ejus casum, 
requirere coepit, ' quern exitum tantis malis sperarent V 
Postquam illos videt queri de avaritia magistratuum, 
accusare senatum, quod in eo auxilii nihil esset ; miseriis 
suis remedium mortem exspectare: "At ego," inquit, 
" vobis, si modo viri esse vultis, rationem ostendam, qua 
tanta ista mala effugiatis." Heec ubi dixit, Allobroges in 
maximam spem adducti Umbrenum orare, uti sui miser- 
eretur : ' nihil tam asperum neque tam difficile esse, quod 
non cupidissime facturi essent, dum ea res civitatem cere 
alieno liberaret.' Ille eos in domum D. Bruti perducit, 
quod foro propinqua erat, neque aliena consilii, propter 
Semproniam ; nam tum Brutus ab Roma aberat. Prae- 
terea Gabinium arcessit, quo major auctoritas sermoni 
inesset. Eo praesente, conjurationem aperit ; nominat 
socios, praeterea multos cujusque generis innoxios, quo 
legatis animus amplior esset : deinde eos pollicitos ope- 
ram suam domum dimittit. 

11 



116 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

XLI. Sed Allobit)ges diii in incerto habuere, quidnam 
consilii caperent. In altera parte erat aes alienum^, sta- 
dium belli, magna merces in spe yictorisd ; at in altera 
majores opes, tuta consilia, pro incerta spe certa prasmia 
Hsec illis volventibus, tandem vicit fortuna reipublica). 
Itaque Q. Fabio Sangae, cujus patrocinio civitas pluri- 
mum utebatur, rem omnem, uti cognoverant, aperiunt. 
Cicero, per Sangam consilio cognito, legatis praecepit, ut 
studium conjurationis vehementer simulent, ceteros ade- 
ant, bene polliceantur, dentque operam, uti eos quam 
maxime manifestos habeant. 

XLII. Isdem fere temporibus in Gallia citeriore atque 
ulteriore, item in agro Piceno, Bruttio, Apulia motus erat. 
Namque illi, quos antea Catilina dimiserat, inconsulte 
ac veluti per dementiam cuncta simul agebant : noctur- 
nis consiliis, armorum atque telorum portationibus, festi- 
nando, agitando omnia, plus timoris quam periculi effece- 
rant. Ex eo numero complures Q. Metellus Celer prae- 
tor ex senati consultu, causa cognita, in vincula con- 
iecerat ; item in ulteriore Gallia C. Murena, qui ei pro- 
vinciae legatus praeerat. 

XLIII. At Romae Lentulus cum ceteris, qui principes 
conjurationis erant, paratis, ut videbantur, magnis copiis, 
constituerant, uti, quum Catilina in agrum Faesulanum 
cum exercitu venisset, L. Bestia tribunus plebis, con- 
cione habita, quereretur de actionibus Ciceronis, bellique 
gravissimi invidiam optimo consuli imponeret ; eo signo, 
proxima nocte cetera multitudo conjurationis suum quis- 
que negotium exsequeretur. Sed ea divisa hoc modo 
dicebantur, Statilius et Gabinius uti cum magna manu 
duodecim simul opportuna loca urbis incenderent, quo 
tumultu facilior aditus ad consulem ceterosque, quibus 



CATILTNA. ill 

msidise parabantur, fieret; Cethegus Ciceronis januam 
obsideret, eumque vi aggrederetur, alius aatem alium ; 
sed filii familiarum, quorum ex nobilitate maxima pars 
erat, parentes interficerent ; simul, csede et incendio per- 
culsis omnibus, ad Catilinam erumperent. Inter base 
parata atque decreta Cethegus semper querebatur de ig- 
navia sociorum : ' illos dubitando et dies prolatando mag- 
nas opportunitates corrumpere ; facto, non consulto in tali 
periculo opus esse ; seque, si pauci adjuvarent, languen- 
tibus aliis, impetum in curiam facturum.' Natura ferox, 
vehemens, manu promptus erat; maximum bonum in 
celeritate putabat. 

XLIV. Sed AUobroges ex prsecepto Ciceronis per Ga- 
binium ceteros conveniunt; ab Lentulo, Cethego, Sta- 
tilio, item Cassio postulant jusjurandum, quod signatum 
ad cives perferant : * alitor baud facile eos ad tantum ne- 
gotium impelli posse.' Ceteri nihil suspicantes dant; 
Cassius semet eo brevi venturum pollicetur, ac paulo ante 
legatos ex urbe proficiscitur. Lentulus cum his T. Vol- 
turcium quemdam Crotoniensem mittit, uti AUobroges, 
priiis quam domum pergerent, cum CatiHna, data et ac- 
cepta fide, societatem confirmarent. Ipse Volturcio lit- 
teras ad Catilinam dat, quarum exemplum infra scriptum 
est. 

" Quis sim, ex eo, quem ad te misi, cognosces. Fac 
cogites, in quanta calamitate sis, et memineris te virum 
esse; consideres, quid tuae rationes postulent: auxiHum 
petas ab omnibus, etiam ab infimis." 

Ad hoc mandata verbis dat : * quum ab senatu hostis 
Judicutus sit, quo consilio servitia repudiet ? in urbe pa- 
rata esse, quae jusserit ; ne cunctetur ipse propius acced- 



118 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

XLV. His rebus ita actis, constituta nocte, qua prof- 
iciscerentur, Cicero, per legates cuncta edoctus, L. Va- 
lerie Flacco et C. Pomptino prsetoribus imperat, uti in 
ponte Mulvio per insidias AUobrogum comitatus depre- 
hendant; rem omnem aperit, cujus gratia mittebantur ; 
cetera, uti facto opus sit, ita agant, permittit. Illi, hom- 
ines militares, sine tumultu prassidiis collocatis, sicuti 
prseceptum erat, occulte pontem obsidunt. Postquam 
ad id loci legati cum Volturcio venerunt, et simul utrim- 
que clamor exortus est, Galli, cito cognito consilio, sine 
mora praetoribus se tradunt. Volturcius primo, cohorta- 
tus ceteros, gladio se a multitudine defendit ; deinde, ubi 
a legatis desertus est, multa prius de salute sua Pompti- 
num obtestatus, quod ei notus erat, postremo timidus ac 
vitse difEdens, velut hostibus sese praetoribus dedit. 

XLVL Quibus rebus confectis, omnia propere per 
nuntios consuli declarantur. At ilium ingens cura atque 
iaetitia simul occupavere: nam laetabatur, intelligens, 
conjuratione patefacta, civitatem periculis ereptam esse ; 
porro autem anxius erat, dubitans, in maximo scelere 
tantis civibus deprehensis, quid facto opus esset ; poenam 
illorum sibi oneri, impunitatem perdendae reipublicos fore 
credebat. Igitur, confirmato animo, vocari ad sese jubet 
Lentuluii, Cethegum, Statilium, Gabinium, itemque 
Cceparium quemdam Terracinensem, qui in Apuliam ad 
concitanda servitia proficisci parabat. Ceteri sine mora 
veniunt* Coeparius, paulo ante dome egressus, cognito 
indicio, ex urbe. profugerat. Consul Lentulum, quod 
praetor erat, ipse manu tenens perducit; reliquos cum 
custodibus in aedem Concordiae venire jubet. E6 sena- 
tum advocat, magnaque frequentia ejus ordinis, Voltur 
cium cum legatis introducit : Flaccum praetorem sc: W\ 



CATILINA. 119 

um cum litteris, quas a legatis acceperat, eodem afferre 
jubet. 

XLVIL Volturcius interrogatus de itinere, de litteris, 
postremo quid, aut qua de causa, consilii habuisset, pri- 
me fingere alia, dissimulare de conjuratione ; post, ubi 
fide publica dicere jussus est, omnia, uti gesta erant, ape- 
rit ; docetque ' se paucis ante diebus a Gabinio et Coepa- 
rio socium adscitum nihil amplius scire quam legatos; 
tantummodo audire solitum ex Gabinio P. Autronium, 
Servium Sullam, L. Vargunteium, multos prseterea in ea 
conjuratione esse.' Eadem Galli fatentur, ac Lentulum 
dissimulantem coarguunt prseter litteras sermonibus, 
quos ille habere solitus erat : ' ex libris Sibylhnis regnum 
Romae tribus Corneliis portendi ; Cinnam atque Sullam 
antea, se tertium esse, cui fatum foret urbis potiri ; pras- 
terea ab incenso Capitolio ilium esse vigesimum annum, 
quem saepe ex prodigiis haruspices respondissent bello 
civiU cruentum fore.' Igitur perlectis litteris, quum pri- 
us omnes signa sua cognovissent, senatus decernit, ' uti 
abdicate magistratu Lentulus, itemque ceteri in liberis 
custodiis haberentur.' Itaque Lentulus P. Lentulo Spin- 
theri, qui turn sedilis erat, Cethegus Q. Cornificio, Sta- 
tilius C. Caesari, Gabinius M. Crasso, Coeparius (nam is 
paulo ante ex fuga retractus erat) Cn. Terentiopenatori 
traduntur. 

XL VIII. Interea plebes, conjuratione patefacta, quae 
primo cupida rerum novarum nimis bello favebat, muta- 
ta mente, Catilinae consilia exsecrari, Ciceronem ad coe- 
lum tollere; veluti ex- servitute erepta, gaudium atque 
laetitiam agitabat. Namque alia belli facinora praedce 
magis quam detrimento fore, incendium vero crudele, 
immoderatum. ac sibi maxime calamitosum putabat; 

11 * 



(20 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

quippe cui omnes copiae in usu quotidiano et cultu cor- 
poris erant. Post eum diem quidam L. Tarquinius ad 
senalam adductus erat, quem ad Catilinam proficiscen- 
tem ex itinere retractum aiebant. Is qaum se diceret 
indicaturum de conjuratione, si fides publica data esset, 
jussus a consule, quae sciret, edicere, eadem fere, qune 
Volturcius, de paratis incendiis, de caede bonorum, de it- 
inere hostium senatum docet : praeierea * se missum a M. 
Crasso, qui Catilinae nuntiaret, ne eum Lentulus et Cethe- 
gus aliique ex conjuratione deprehensi terrerent ; eoque 
magis properaret ad urbem accedere, quo et ceterorum 
animos reficeret, et illi faciliiis e periculo eriperentur.' 
Sed ubi Tarquinius Crassum nominavit, hominem nob- 
ilem, maximis divitiis, summa potentia, alii rem incredib- 
ilem rati, pars, tametsi verum existimabant, tamen quia 
in tali tempore tanta vis hominis lenienda magis quam 
exagitanda videbatur, plerique Crasso ex negotiis privatis 
obnoxii conclamant * indicem falsum esse,' deque ea re 
postulant, uti referatur. Itaque, consulente Cicerone, 
frequens senatus decernit, * Tarquinii indicium falsum 
videri, eumque in vinculis retinendum, neque amplius 
potestatem faciendam, nisi de eo indicaret, cujus consilio 
tantam rem mentitus esset.' Erant eo tempore, qui ex- 
istimarent indicium illud a P. Autronio machinatum, quo 
faciliiis, appellato Crasso, per societatem periculi reliquos 
illius potentia tegeret. Alii Tarquinium a Cicerone im- 
missiim aiebant, ne Crassus, more suo suscepto malorum 
patrocinio, rempublicam conturbaret. Ipsum Crassum 
ego postea praedicantem audivi, ' tantam illam contume- 
liam sibi ab Cicerone impositam.' 

XLIX. Sed isdem temporibus Q. Catulus et C. Pise 
neque preclbus, neque gratia, neque pretio Ciceronem 



CATILINA. 12J 

impellere potuere, uti per Allobroges ant per alium indi 
cem C. Caesar falso nominaretur. Nam uterque cum 
illo graves inimicitias exercebant; Piso oppugnatus in 
judicio pecuniarum repetandarum, propter cujusdam 
Transpadani supplicium injustum ; Catulus ex petitione 
pontificatus odio incensus, quod extrema setate, maximis 
honoribus usus, ab adolescentulo Caesare victus discesse- 
rat. Res autem opportuna videbatur, quod is privatim 
egregia liberalitate, publice maximis muneribus grandem 
pecuniam debebat. Sed ubi consulem ad tantum faci- 
nus impellere nequeunt, ipsi singulatim circumeundo, 
atque ementiendo, quae se ex Volturcio aut Allobrogibus 
audisse dicerent, magnam illi invidiam conflaverant ; us- 
que adeo, ut nonnuUi equites Romani, qui praesidii causa 
cum telis erant circum aedem Concordiae, seu periculi 
magnitudine, seu animi mobilitate impulsi, quo studium 
suum in rempublicam clarius esset, egredienti ex senatu 
Caesari gladio minitarentur. 

L. Dum hsec in senatu aguntur, et dum legatis Allob- 
rogum et Tito Volturcio, comprobato eorum indicio, 
praemia decernuntur ; liberti et pauci ex clientibus Len- 
tuli diversis itineribus opifices atque servitia in vicis ad 
eum eripiendum sollicitabant ; partim exquirebant duces 
multitudinum, qui pretio rempublicam vexare soliti erant. 
Cethegus autem per nuntios familiam atque libertos sues, 
Jectos et exercitatos in audaciam, orabat, ut, grege facto, 
cum telis ad sese irrumperent. Consul, ubi ea parari 
cognovit, dispositis praesidiis, ut res atque tempus mone- 
bat, convocato senatu, refert, * quid de his fieri placeat, 
qui in custodiam traditi erant.' Sed eos paulo ante fre- 
quens senatus judicaverat 'contra rempublicam fecisse.' 
Turn D Junius Silanus, primus sententiam rogatus, quod 



122 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

eo tempore consul designatus erat, de his, qui in custodiis 
tenebantur, prseterea de L. Cassio, P. Furio, P. Umbreno, 
Q. Annio, si deprehensi forent, supplicium sumendum 
decreverat : isque postea, permotus oration^ C. Caesaris, 
pedibus in sententiam Tib. Neronis iturum se dixerat ; 
quod de ea re, prsesidiis additis, referendum censuerat. 
Sed Caesar, ubi ad eum ventum est, rogatus sententiam a 
consule, hujuscemodi verbg. locutus est. 

LI. " Omnes homines, patres conscripti, qui de rebus 
dubiis consultant, ab odio, amicitia, ira atque misericor- 
dia vacuos esse decet. Hand facile animus verum prov- 
idet, ubi ilia officiunt, neque quisquam omnium libidini 
simul et usui paruit. Ubi intenderis ingenium, valet; si 
libido possidet, ea dominatur, animus nihil valet. Magna 
mihi copia est memorandi, patres conscripti, qui reges 
atque populi, ira aut misericordia impulsi, male consulue- 
rint; sed ea malo dicere, quas majores nostri contra libid- 
inem animi sui recte atque ordine fecere. Bello Mace- 
donico, quod cum rege Perse gessimus, Rhodiorum civi- 
tas, magna atque magnifica, quae populi Romani opibus 
creverat, infida atque adversa nobis fuit : sed postquam, 
bello confecto, de Rhodiis consultum est, majores nostri, 
ne quis divitiarum magis, quam injurias causa bellum in- 
ceptum diceret, impunitos eos dimisere. Item bellis Pu- 
riicis omnibus, quum saepe Carthaginienses et in pace et 
per inducias multa nefaria facinora fecissent, nunquam 
ipsi per occasionem talia fecere : magis, quid se dignum 
foret, quam quid in illis jure fieri posset, quaerebani 
Hoc idem vobis providendum est, patres conscripti, ne 
[)Ius valeat apud vos P. Lentuli et ceterorum scelus, 
quam vestra dignitas ; neu magis irae vestrae quam fama3 
^'onsulatis. Nam si digna pa^na pro fiictis eorum reperi 



CATILINA. 123 

tur, novum consilium approbo ; sin magnitudo sceleris 
omnium ingenia exsuperat, his utendum censeo, qu^ 
legibus comparata sunt. Plerique eorum, qui ante me 
sentontias dixerunt, composite atque magnifice casum 
reipublicae miserati sunt : quae belli sasvitia esset, quae 
victis acciderent enumeravere : rapi virgines, pueros ; 
divelli liberos a parentum complexu ; matres familiarum 
pati, quae victoribus collibuissent ; fana atque domes ex- 
spoliari; caedem, incendia fieri; postremo armis, cada- 
veribus, cruore atque luctu omnia compleri. Sed, per 
deos immortales ! quo ilia oratio pertinuit ? an, uti vos 
infestos conjurationi faceret ? Scilicet, quem res tanta 
atque tarn atrox non permovit, eum oratio accendet ! 
Non ita est ; neque cuiquam mortalium injuriae suae par- 
vae videntur: multi eas gravius aequo habuere. Sed 
alia aliis licentia est, patres conscripti. Qui demissi in 
obscure vitam habent, si quid iracundia deliquere, pauci 
sciunt ; fama atque fortuna eorum pares sunt: qui mag- 
no imperio praediti in excelso aetatem agunt, eorum facta 
cuncti mortales novere. Ita in maxima fortuna minima 
licentia est : neque studere, neque odisse, sed minime 
irasci decet : quee apud alios iracundia- dicitur, ea in 
imperio superbia atque crudelitas appellatur. Equidem 
ego sic existimo, patres conscripti, omnes cruciatus mi- 
nores, quam facinora illorum esse ; sed plerique mortales 
postrema meminere, et in hominibus impiis sceleris 
eorum obliti de pi^ena disserunt, si ea paulo severior fuit. 
D. Silanum, virum fortem atque strenuum, certo scio, 
quae dixerit, studio reipublicae dixisse, neque ilium in 
tanta re gratiam aut inimicitias exercere : eos mores, 
eam modestiam viri cognovi. Verum sententia ejus mi- 
hi non crudelis, (quid enim in tales homines crudele fieri 



124 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

potest ?) sed aliena a republica nostra videtur. Nam pro- 
fecto aut metus aut injuria te suhegit, Silane, consuleni 
designatum, genus poense novum decernere. De timore 
supervacaneum est disserere, quum prsesertim diligentia 
clarissimi viri, consulis, tanta preesidia sint in armis. De 
pa3na possumus equidem dicere, id quod res habet, in 
luctu atque miseriis mortem eerumnarum requiem, non 
cruciatum esse, eam cuncta mortalium mala dissolvere ; 
ultra neque curae neque gaudio locum esse. Sed, per 
deos immortales ! quamobrem in sententiam non addi- 
disti, uti prius verberibus in eos animadverteretur ? An, 
quia lex Porcia vetat ? At aliae leges item condemnatis 
civibus non animam eripi, sed exsilium permitti jubent. 
An, quia gravius est verberari quam necari t Quid au- 
tem acerbum aut nimis grave in homines tanti facinoris 
convictos ? Sin, quia levius est ; qui convenit in minore 
negotio legem timere, quum eam in majore neglexeris ? 
At enim quis reprehendet, quod in parricidas reipublicce 
decretum erit? Tempus, dies, fortuna, cujus libido gen- 
tibus moderatur. Illis merito accidet, quidquid evenerit ; 
ceterum vos, patres conscripti, quid in alios statuatis, 
considerate. Omnia mala exempla ex bonis orta sunt ; 
sed ubi imperium ad ignaros aut minus bonos pervenit, 
novum illud exemplum ab dignis et idoneis ad indignos 
et non idoneos transfertur. Lacedsemonii devictis Athe- 
niensibus triginta viros imposuere, qui rempublicam eo- 
rum tractarent. Hi primo ccepere pessimum quemque 
et omnibus invisum indemnatum necare: ea populus 
la3tari et merito dicere fieri. Post, ubi paulatim licentia 
crevit, juxta bonos et males libidinose interficere, ceteros 
metu terrere. Ita civitas servitute oppressa stultae la^tit- 
iae graves poenas dedit. Nostra memoria, victor Sulla 



C A TIL IN A. 125 

quum Damasippum et alios hujusmodi, qui malo reipub- 
licse creverant, jugulari jussit, quis non factum ejus lau- 
dabat? 'Homines scelestos et factiosos, qui seditionibus 
rempublicam exagitaverant, merito necatos' aiebant. Sed 
ea res magnae initium cladis fuit : nam uti quisque do- 
mum aut villam, postremo aut vas aut vestimentum 
alicujus concupiverat, dabat operam, uti is in proscripto- 
rum numero esset. Ita illi, quibus Damasippi mors lae- 
titiae fuerat, paulo post ipsi trahebantur; neque prius 
finis jugulandi fuit, quam Sulla omnes suos divitiis ex- 
plevit. Atque ego haec non in M. TuUio neque his 
temporibus vereor ; sed in magna civitate multa et varia 
ingenia sunt. Potest alio tempore, alio consule, cui item 
exercitus in manu sit, falsum aliquid pro vero.credi. Ubi 
hoc exemplo per senati decretum consul gladium eduxe- 
rit, quis iUi finem statuet, aut quis moderabitur ? Majores 
nostri, patres conscripti, neque consilii neque audaciag 
unquam eguere ; neque illis superbia obstabat, quo minus 
aliena instituta, si modo proba erant, imitarentur. Arma 
atque tela militaria ab Samnitibus, insignia magistratuum 
ab Tuscis pleraque sumpserunt : postremo quod ubique 
apud socios aut hostes idoneum videbatur, cum summo 
studio domi exsequebantur ; imitari quam invidere bonis 
malebant. Sed eodem illo tempore, Graeci^ morem im- 
itati, verberibus animadvertebant in cives, de condem- 
natis summum supplicium sumebant. Postquam respub-^ 
lica adolevit, et multitudine civium factiones valuere, 
circumveniri innocentes, alia hujuscemodi fieri coepere, 
tum lex Porcia aliaeque leges paratse sunt, quibus legi- 
bus exsilium damnatis permissum est. Hanc ego cau- 
sam, patres conscripti, quo minus novum consilium capi- 
amus, in primis magnam puto. Profecto virtus atque 



126 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

sapientia major in illis fuit, qui ex parvis opibus tantum 
imperium fecere, quam in nobis, qui ea bene paiia y/\X 
retinemus. Placet igitur eos dimitti et augere exerciturn 
Catilinae ? Minime ; sed ita censeo : ' publicandas eo- 
rum pecunias, ipsos in vinculis habendos per municipia', 
quae maxime opibus valent ; neu quis de, his postea ad 
senatum referat, neve cum populo agat : qui alitor fece- 
rit, senatum existimare eum contra rempublicam et salu- 
tem omnium facturum.' " 

LIL Postquam Caesar dicendi finem fecit, ceteri ver- 
bo alius alii varie assentiebantur : at M. Porcius Cato, 
rogatus sententiam, hujuscemodi orationem habuit. 

'* Longe mihi alia mens est, patres conscripti, quum 
res atque pericula nostra considero, et quum sententias 
nonnullorum mecum ipse reputo. lUi mihi disseruisse 
videntur de poena eorum, qui patriae, parentibus, aris at- 
que focis suis bellum paravere : res autem monet cavere 
ab illis magis quam, quid in illis st^tuamus, consultare. 
Nam cetera maleficia tum p^rsequare, ubi facta sunt: 
hoc, nisi provideris, ne accidat, ubi evenit, frustra judicia 
implores : capta urbe, nihil fit reliqui victis. Sed, per 
deos immortales ! vos ego appello, qui semper domes, 
villas, signa, tabulas vestras pluris quam rempublicam 
fecistis, si ista, cujuscumque modi sunt, quae amplex- 
amini, retinere, si voluptatibus vestris otium praebere 
vultis, expergiscimini aliquando, et capessite rempub- 
licam. Non agitur de vectigalibus, neque de sociorum 
injuriis; libertas et anima nostra in dubio est. Saepe- 
numero, patres conscripti, multa verba in hoc ordine 
feci, saepe de luxuria atque avaritia nostrorum civium 
questus sum, multosque mortales ea causa adversos 
habeo. Qui mihi atque animo meo nullius unquam de- 



CATILINA, 127 

licti gratiam fecissem, baud facile alterius libidini male- 
facta condonabam. Sed ea tametsi vos parvi pendeba- 
tis, tamen respublica firma erat ; opulentia negligentiam 
tolerabat. Nunc vero non id agitur, bonisne an malis 
moribus vivamus, neque quantum aut quam magnificum 
imperium populi Romani sit; sed cujus base cumquo 
modi videntur, nostra, an nobiscum una hostium futura 
sint* 

" Hie mihi quisquam mansuetudinem et misericordi- 
am nominat. Jampridem equidem nos vera rerum vo- 
cabula amisimus, quia bona aliena largiri liberalitas, 
malarum rerum audacia fortitudo vocatur; eo respub- 
lica in extreme sita est. Sint sane, quoniam ita se mo- 
res habent, liberales ex sociorum fortunis, sint misericor- 
des in furibus serarii : ne illi sanguinem nostrum largian- 
tur ; et dum paucis sceleratis parcunt, bonos omnes 
perditum eant. Bene et composite C. Csesar paulo ante 
in hoc ordine de vita et morte disseruit; credo, falsa 
exisiimans ea, quae de inferis memorantur ; ' diverse itin- 
ere males a bonis loca tetra, inculta, foeda atque formid- 
olosa habere.' Itaque censuit ' pecunias eorum publi- 
candas, ipsos per municipia in custodiis habendos;' videl- 
icet timens, ne, si Romae sint, aut a popularibus conju- 
rationis, aut a multitudine conducta per vim eripiantur. 
Quasi vero mali atque scelesti tantummodo in urbe, et 
non per totam Italiam sint, aut non ibi plus possit au- 
dacia, ubi ad defendendum opes minores sunt. Quare 
vanum equidem hoc consilium' est, si periculum ex illis 
metuit ; sin in tanto omnium metu solus non timet, eo 
magis refert me mihi atque vobis timere. 

" Quare quum de P. Lentulo ceterisque siatuetis, pro 
certo habetote vos simul de exercitu CatiHnae et de om 

12 



128 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

nibus conjuratis derernere. Quanto vos attentius ea 
agetis, tanto illis animus infirmior erit: si pauluium 
modo vos languere viderint, jam omnes feroces aderunt. 
Nolite existimare majores nostros armis rempublicam ex 
parva magnam fecisse. Si ita res esset, multo pulcher- 
rimam eam nos haberemus : quippe sociorum atque civ- 
ium, praeterea armorum atque equorum major nobis co- 
pia quam illis. Sed alia fuere, quae illos magnos fecere, 
quae nobis nulla sunt ; domi industria, foris justurn im- 
perium, animus in consulendo liber, neque delicto neque 
libidini obnoxius. Pro his nos habemus luxuriam atque 
avaritiam, publice egestatem, privatim opulentiam ; lau- 
damus divitias, sequimur inertiam ; inter bonos et malos 
discrimen nullum ; omnia virtutis praemia ambitio possi- 
det. Neque mirum, ubi vos separatim sibi quisque con- 
silium capitis, ubi domi voluptatibus, hie pecuniae aut 
gratiae servitis ; eo fit, ut impetus fiat in vacuam rem- 
publicam. Sed ego haec omitto. 

" Conjuravere nobilissimi cives patriam incendere, 
Gallorum gentem infestissimam nomini Romano ad hel- 
ium arcessunt ; dux hostium cum exercitu supra caput 
est : vos cunctamini etiam nunc, quid intra moenia dep- 
rehensis hostibus faciatis? Misereamini, censeo, (deli- 
quere homines adolescentuli per ambitionem,) atque 
etiam armatos dimittatis. Ne ista vobis mansuetudo et 
misericordia, si illi arma ceperint, in miseriam vertet. 
Scilicet res ipsa aspera est, sed vos non timetis eam. 
Immo vero maxime ; sed inertia et mollitia animi alius 
alium exspectantes cunctamini, videlicet dis immortali- 
bus confisi, qui banc rempublicam in maximis saepe peric- 
ulis servavere. Non votis neque suppliciis muliebribus 
auxilia deorum parantur; vigilando, agendo, bene con- 



C A T I L I N A . 1^9 

sulendo prospera omnia cedunt: ubi socordiae te atque 
ignaviae tradideris, nequidquam deos implores ; irati in- 
festique sunt. Apud majores nostros T. Manlius Tor- 
quatus bello Gallico filium suum, quod is contra impe- 
rium in hostem pugnaverat, necari jussit, atque ille 
egregius adolescens, immoderatae fortitudinis, morte poe- 
nas dedit : vos de crudelissimis parricidis quid statuatis, 
cunctamini? Videlicet vita cetera eorum huic sceleri 
obstat. Verum parcite dignitati Lentuli, si ipse pudi- 
citise, si famac suae, si dis aut hominibus unquam ullis 
pepercit: ignosciie Cethegi adolescentiae, nisi iterum 
patriae bellum fecit. Nam quid ego de Gabinio, Sta- 
tilio, Coepario loquar ? quibus si quidquam unquam pensi 
fuisset, non ea consilia de republica habuissent. 

" Postremo, patres conscripti, si mehercule peccato 
locus esset, facile paterer vos ipsa re corrigi, quoniam 
verba comtemnitis ; sed undique circumventi sumus. 
Catilina cum exercitu faucibus urget; alii intra moenia 
atque in sinu urbis sunt hostes; neque parari, neque 
consuli quidquam occulte potest: quo magis properan- 
dum est. Quare ita ego censeo : * quum nefario con- 
silio sceleratorum civium respublica in maxima pericula 
venerit, hique indicio T. Volturcii et legatorum Allobro- 
gum convicti confessique sint caedem, incendia, aliaque 
se foeda atque crudelia facinora in cives patriamque para- 
visse, de confessis, sicuti de manifestis rerum capitaliurri, 
more majorum supplicium sumendum.' " 

LIII. iPostquam Cato assedit, consulares omnes item- 
que senatus magna pars sententiam ejus laudant, virtu- 
tem animi ad coelum ferunt, alii alios increpantes timi- 
dos vocant ; Cato clarus atque magnus habetur ; senati 
decretum fit, sicuti ille censuerat. Sed mihi multa le- 




130 C. CRISPI SALLUSTIl 

genti, multa audienti, quae populus Romanus domi mi- 
litiseqae, mari atque terra prseclara facinora fecit forte 
libuit attendere, qu£e res maxime tanta negotia sustinu- 
isset. Sciebam saepenumero parva manu cum magnis 
legionibus hostium contendisse ; cognoveram parvis co- 
piis bella gesta cum opulentis regibus ; ad hoc saepe for- 
lunae violentiam toleravisse ; facundia Grsecos, gloria 
belli Gallos ante Romanos fuisse. Ac mihi multa agitanti 
constabat, paucorum civium egregiam virtutem cuncta 
patravisse ; eoque factum, uti divitias paupertas, multi- 
tudinem paucitas superaret. Sed postquam luxu atque 
desidia civitas corrupta est, rursus respublica magnitu- 
dine sua imperatorum atque magistratuum vi'da susten- 
tabat, ac, sicuti effeta parente, multis tempestatibus baud 
sane quisquam Romae virtute magnus fuit. Sed memoria 
mea, ingenti virtute, diversis moribus fuere viri duo, M. 
Cato et C. Caesar : quos quoniam res obtulerat, silentio 
prseterire non fuit consilium, quin utriusque naturam et 
mores, quantum ingenio possem, aperirem. 

LIV. Igitur his genus, aetas, eloquentia prope aequalia 
fuere ; magnitudo animi par, item gloria, sed alia alii. 
Caesar beneficiis atque munificentia magnus habebatur; 
integritate vitae Cato. Ille mansuetudine et misericordia 
clarus factus ; huic severitas dignitatem addiderat. Cae- 
sar dando, sublevando, ignoscendo ; Cato nihil largiendo 
gloriam adeptus est. In altero miseris perfugium; in 
altero mahs pernicies : illius f?icilitas, hujus constantia 
laudabatur. Postremo Caesar in animum induxerat lab- 
orare, vigilare ; negotiis amicorum intentus, sua neg 
ligere ; nihil denegare, quod dono dignum esset ; sibi 
magnum imperium, exercitum, novum bellum exopta 

, ubi virtus enitescere posset. At Catoni studiunn 



CATILINA. 131 

modestiae, decoris, sed maxime severitatis erat. Non di- 
vitiis cum divite, neque factione cum factioso, sed cum 
strenuo virtute, cum modesto pudore, cum innocente ab- 
stinentia certabal ; esse quam videri bonus malebat : ita, 
quo minus gloriam petebat, eo magis sequebatur. 

LV. Poslquam, ut dixi, senatus in Catonis sententiam 
discessit, consul optimum factum ratus noctem, quas in- 
stabat, antecapere, ne quid eo spatio novaretur, triumvi- 
ros, quas supplicium postulabat, parare jubet : ipse, dis- 
positis praesidiis, Lentulum in carcerem deducit; idem 
fit ceteris per prsetores. Est locus in carcere, quod Tul- 
lianum appellatur, ubi paululiim descenderis ad Isevam, 
circiter duodecim pedes humi depressus. Eum muniunt 
undique parietes^ atque insuper camera lapideis fornici- 
bus vincta, sed incultu, tenebris, odore foeda atque ter- 
ribilis ejus facies est. In eum locum postquam demissus 
est Lentulus, vindices rerum capitalium, quibus prsecep- 
tum erat, laqueo gulam fregere. Ita ille patricius, ex 
clarissima gente Corneliorum, qui consulare imperium 
Romae habuerat, dignum moribus factisque suis exitium 
vitae invenit. De Cethego, Statilio, Gabinio, Coepario 
eodem modo supplicium sumptum est, 

LVI. Dum ea Romae geruntur, Catilina ex omni co- 
pia, quam et ipse adduxerat, et Manlius habuerat, duas 
legiones instituit; cohortes pro numero militum com- 
plet: deinde, ut quisque voluntarius aut ex sociis in 
castra venerat, aequaliter distribuerat, ac brevi spatio 
legiones numero hominum expleverat, quum initio non 
amplius duobus millibus habuisset. Sed ex omni copia 
circiter pars quarta erat militaribus armis instructa ; cot- 
eri, ut quemque casus armaverat, sparos aut lanceas, alii 
prseacutas sudes portabant. Sed postquam Antonius cum 

12^ 



132 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

exercitu adventabat, Catilina per montes iter facere, 
modo ad urbem, modo in Galliam versus castra movere. 
hostibus occasionem pugnandi non dare: sperabat pro- 
pediem magnas copias sese habiturum, si Romae socii 
incepta patravissent. Interea servitia repudiabat, cujus 
initio ad eum magnas copioe concurrebant, opibus conju- 
rationis fretus, simul alienum suis rationibus existimans, 
videri causam civium cum servis fugitivis communica- 
visse. 

LVII. Sed postquam in castra nuntius pervenit Romse 
conjurationem patefactam, de Lentulo, Cethego, ceteris, 
quos supra memoravi, supplicium sumptum ; plerique, 
quos ad bellum spes rapinarum aut novarum rerum stu- 
dium illexerat, dilabuntur : reliquos Catilina per montes 
asperos magnis itineribus in agrum Pistoriensem abdu- 
cit, eo consilio, uti per tramites occulte perfugeret in Gal- 
liam. At Q. Metellus Celer cum tribus legionibus in 
agro Piceno praesidebat, ex difficultate rerum eadem ilia 
existimans, quae supra diximus, Catilinam agitare. Igi- 
tur, ubi iter ejus ex perfugis cognovit, castra propere 
movit, ac sub ipsis radicibus montium consedit, qua illi 
descensus erat in Galliam properanti. Neque tamen An- 
tonius procul aberat, utpote qui magno exercitu locis 
sequioribus expeditus in fuga sequeretur. Sed Catilina, 
postquam videt montibus atque copiis hostium sese clau- 
sum, in urbe res adversas, neque fagae neque praesidii 
ullam spem, optimum factum ratus in tali re fortunam 
belli tentare, statuit cum Antonio quam primum con- 
fligere. Itaque, concione advocata, hujuscemodi ora- 
tionem habuit. 

LVIII. *' Compertum ego habeo, milites, verba vivtu- 
tem non addere; neque ex ignavo strenuum, neque 



CATILINA. 133 

*oiiem ex timido exercitum oratione imperatoris fieri. 
Quanta cujusque animo audacia natura aut moribus in- 
est, tanta in bello patere solet : quern neque gloria neque 
pericula excitant, nequidquam hortere ; timor animi au- 
ribus officit. ^ Sed ego vos, quo pauca monerem, advo- 
cavi ; simul uti causam mei consilii aperirem. Scitis 
equidem, milites, socordia atque ignavia Lentuli quantam 
ipsi cladem nobisque attulerit ; quoque modo, dum ex 
urbe praesidia opperior, in Galliam proficisci nequiverim. 
Nunc vero quo in loco res nostras sint, juxta mecum 
omnes intelligitis. Exercitus hostium duo, unus ab 
urbe, alter a Gallia obstant : diutius in his locis esse, 
si maxime animus ferat, frumenti atque aliarum rerum 
egestas prohibet. Quocumque ire placet, ferro iter ape- 
riendum est. Quapropter vos moneo, uti forti atque pa- 
rato animo sitis, et, quum proelium inibitis, memineritis 
vos divitias, decus, gloriam, prasterea libertatem atque 
patriam in dextris vestris portare. Si vincimus, omma 
nobis tuta erunt, commeatus abunde, coloniae atque 
municipia patebunt: sin metu cesserimus, eadem ilia 
adversa fient: neque locus neque amicus quisquam te- 
get, quern arma non texerint. Praeterea, milites, non 
eadem nobis et illis necessitudo impendet: nos pro pa- 
tria, pro libertate, pro vita certamus : illis supervacaneum 
est pugnare pro potentia paucorum. Quo audacius ag- 
gredimini, memores pristinae virtutis. Licuit vobis cum 
summa turpitudine in exsilio aetatem agere; potuistis 
nonnulli Romas, amissis bonis, alienas opes exspectare. 
Quia ilia foeda atque intoleranda viris videbantur, hjec 
sequi decrevistis. Si haec relinquere vultis, audacia opus 
est : nemo, nisi victor, pace bellum mutavit. Nam in 
I'uga salutem sperare, quum arma, quis corpus tegitur, 



134 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII 

ab hostibus averteris, ea vero dementia est. Semper in 
prcElio iis maximum est periculum, qui maxime timent ; 
audacia pro muro habetur. Quum vos considero, mill- 
tes, et quum facta vestra SBstimo, magna me spes victo- 
riae tenet. Animus, setas, virtus vestra me hoitantur, 
praeterea necessitudo, qu^ etiam timidos fortes facit 
Nam multitude hostium ne circumvenire queat, prohi* 
bent angusti^e loci. Quod si virtuti vestrse fortuna in- 
videritj cavete inulti animam amittatis ; neu capti potius 
sicuti pecora trucidemini, quam virorum more pugnan- 
tes, cruentam atque luctuosam victoriam hostibus relin- 
quatis." 

LIX. Hsec ubi dixit, paululum commoratus, signa 
canere jubet, atque instructos ordines in locum sequum 
deducit: deinde, remotis omnium equis, quo militibus, 
exaequato periculo, animus amplior esset, ipse pedes ex- 
ercitum pro loco atque copiis instruit. Nam, uti planit- 
ies erat inter sinistros montes, et ab dextra rupes as- 
pera, octo cohortes in fronte constituit, reliqua signa in 
subsidio artiiis collocat. Ab his centuriones omnes lec- 
tos et evocatos, prseterea ex gregariis militibus optimum 
quemque armatum in primam aciem subducit. C. Man- 
lium in dextera, Faesulanum quemdam in sinistra parte 
curare jubet: ipse cum libertis et colonis propter aqui- 
1am assistit, quam bello Cimbrico C. Marius in exercitu 
habuisse dicebatur. At ex altera parte C. Antonius, 
pedibus aeger, quod proelio adesse nequibat, M. Petreio 
legato exercitum permittit. Ille cohortes veterarias, quas 
tumulti causa conscripserat, in fronte ; post eas ceterum 
exercitum in subsidiis locat. Ipse equo circumiens, 
unumquemque nominans appellat, hortatur, rogat, uti 
meminerint se contra latrones inermes, pro patria, pro 



CATILINA. 135 

liberis, pro aris atque focis suis cernere. Homo milita- 
ris, quod amplius annos triginta tribunus, aut praefectus, 
aut legatus, aut praetor cum magna gloria in exercitu 
fuerat, plerosque ipsos factaque eorum fortia noverat ; ea 
commemorando militum animos accendebat. 

LX. Sed ubi, omnibus rebus exploratis, Petreius tuba 
signum dat, cohortes paulatim incedere jubet ; idem facit 
hostium exercitus. Postquam eo ventum est, unde a 
ferentariis proelium committi posset, maximo clamore 
cum infestis signis concurrunt ; pila omittunt ; gladiis 
res geritur. Veterani, pristinae virtutis memores, com- 
inus acriter instare ; illi baud timidi resistunt ; maxi- 
ma vi certatur. Interea Catilina cum expeditis in prima 
acie versari, laborantibus succurrere, integros pro sauciis 
arcessere, omnia providere, multum ipse pugnare, saepe 
hostem ferire : strenui militis et boni imperatoris officia 
simul exsequebatur. Petreius ubi videt Catilinam, con- 
tra ac ratus erat, magna vi tendere, cohortem praetoriam 
m medios hostes inducit, eosque perturbatos atque alios 
alibi resistentes interficit; deinde utrimque ex latenbus 
ceteros aggreditur. Manlius et Feesulanus in primis pug- 
nantes cadunt. Postquam fusas copias, seque cum pau- 
cis relictum videt Catilina, memor generis atque pristinae 
dignitatis, in confertissimos hostes incurrit, ibique pug- 
nans confoditur. 

LXI. Sed confecto proelio, tum vero cerneres, quanta 
audacia quantaque vis animi fuisset in exercitu Catilinae 
Nam fere quem quisque vivus pugnando locum ceperat, 
eum, amissa anima, corpore tegebat. Pauci autem, quos 
medios cohors praetoria disjecerat, paulo diversiiis, sed 
omnes tamen adversis vulneribus conciderant. Catilina 
vero longe a suis inter hostium cadavera repertus est 



136 C. CRISPI SALLUSTII CATILINA. 

paululum etiam spirans, ferociamque animi, quam habu- 
erat vivus, in vultu retinens. Postremo ex omni copia 
neque in proelio neque in fuga quisquam civis ingenuus 
captus est : ita cuncti suas hostiumque vitae juxta pcper- 
cerant. Neque tamen exercitus populi Romani laetam 
aut incruentam victoriam adeptus erat; nam strenuissi- 
mus quisque aut occiderat in proelio, aut graviter vulne- 
ratus discesserat. Multi autem, qui de castris visendi 
aut spoliandi gratia processerant, volventes hostilia ca- 
davera, amicum alii, pars hospitem aut cognatum reperi 
ebant; fuere item, qui inimicos suos cognoscerent. Ita 
varie per omnem exercitum lastitia, moeror, luctus atque 
gaudia agitabantur.

NOTES ON THE JUGURTHINE WAR. 



I. Falso queritur. The four introductory sections of each of the treatises 
of Sallust have no direct connection with the histories to which they 
are prefixed, and, with only sHght aherations, might have served equally 
well as prefaces to any other works. In both, the train of thought is 
nearly the same, and they each contain a defence of the author for 
choosing to devote his talents to literary employments, rather than to a 
participation in public affairs. 

Tmbecilla, sc. natura sua, instead of inibecillum, agreeing with humanum 
genus, or imbecillus, agreeing with homoy $ 324, 2. 

uTlvi brevis, $211, R. 6.—Regatur, $266, 3. 

Vim aut tempus deesse. Vim relates to imbecilla in the preceding sen- 
tence, and tempus, to cBvi brevis. So below, vires and tempus. Invenies 
is here construed first with the accusative, and then with the infinitive 
and accusative. Instances of double constructions are common in 
Sallust. 

Sed dux. This sentence contains a reply to the complaint mentioned in 
the first sentence, and sed, serving to introduce a different view of the 
nature of man, is strictly adversative. 

Eripere cuiquam potest, sc. fortuna. 

Sin, captus, sc. m,ortalis animus, i. e. homo or quisquam. In its adversative 
character sin serves to introduce a clause which is opposed to ubi ad 
gloriam virtutis via grassatur. 

Perniciosa libidine paulisper usus, — natures injlrmitas accusatur. An ana- 
coluthon, $ 323, 3, (5). The regular termination of the sentence would 
have been, natures injlrmitatem accusat. 

Suam quisque, $204, R. 10, & $209, R. 11, (4).

affairs ; first, that offices were not bestowed upon the deserving ; and

secondly, that those engaged in the contest for office, and who are d\ 

vided into three classes, were neither happier nor more respectable on 

account of their success. 
fill quihus per fraudem is (sc. honos) fuit, — " who have acquired office by 

deceptive arts ;" these constitute the first class. 
Vi quidem regere. The second class is described as obtaining power by 

force. 
Parentes, from pareo, " subjects," though some interpret it " parents." 
Possis, sc. regere patriam, &c. 

Frustra autem niti, sc. regere patriam, &c., et delicia corrigere, 
DementicB est, §211, R. 8, (3). 
Nisi forte quern. The third class, whom Sallust ironically excepts from 

the number of those v/hom he dissuades from the pursuit of office. Nisi 

quern, $ 137, (c).

Quihus ego temporihus. Sallust was questor soon after the suppression of 
the Catilinarian conspiracy, and tribune of the people subsequently to 
the victory of Caesar, at the time when Clodius was slain by Milo. 

Quales viri. Cato, about this time, was an unsuccessful candidate for the 
pretorship.

usually for the want of it ; and in such cases is found united in con- 
struction with adjeciives, as here, helium magnum et atrox variaqut vio

of Jugurtha and Gauda, and Massugrada, the father of Dabar.

the ocean," and mare magnum, to refer not to the wider parts of the 
Mediterranean, but to the Atlantic. On this latter supposition, the

Nam gerere quam fieri tempore poster ius, re atque usu prius est. " To exe- 
cute is in point of time subsequent to being elected (to an office,) but 
really and practically it is antecedent." The expression is rendered 
designedly paradoxical by the use of gerere without an accusative ex 
pressed. In the first clause, gerere quam fieri tempore poslerius (est,) 
magistratum or the like is to be supplied ; and the clause imports that 
the discharge of the duties of an office is subsequent to one's election 
to such office ; but in the second clause, gerere quam fieri re atque usu 
prius est, rem or the like is to be supplied with gerere, and the meaning 
is, that one must be practised in affairs before he is qualified for election 
to an office, or, in other words, that experience is a necessaiy qualifica- 
tion for office. 

Comparate nunc cum illorum superbia me hominem novum. The Latin 
idiom often permits a comparison to be made, not only between two 
persons, or the properties or actions of two persons, but between a per- 
son and an attribute or action of another person ; " me and the pride 
of these men," instead of, " me and these proud men."

with the historical infinitive is rare in Sallust, but less so in Livy and 
Tacitus. 

Neque minus kostibus conturhatis. Que " also" refers to Tiostihus, ne, i. e. 
nont to minus. 

XCIX. Uti per vigilias solebant. Per, " on account of." In the camp the 
night was divided into four equal parts or watches, the termination of 
each of which was usually announced by sound of trumpet. 
C. Sulla cum equiiatu. " Sylla attended by the cavalry." 

Apud dextimos curahat, " commanded on the extreme right." Both here 
and in the next clause, curahat is used absolutely, but in the following

" and also commanded the cohorts ot the Ligurians."

Ad pedites. It has been doubted whether the infantry here spoken of was 
the Roman or the Numidian ; the former appears probable for many 
reasons, and especially as Jugurtha is said to have addressed them in 
Latin. 

Apud Numantiam. See Chaps. VII — IX. — Loqui, sc. Latine,

Humanarum leriim — pleraque, $212, R. 3, N. 4. 

Cui scilicet placuisse. This infinitive depends on scilicet, i. e. scire licet. 

Per illam licet, " it is allowed so far as depends on her." See Per in Dici 

Nam refers to something to be supplied, as, I do not say that they ara 
never vanquished in war, for, &c. 

Bocchus placide et henigne, sc. respondit. 

Unde vi Jugmtham expulerit, $366, 3. This claim on the part o' Boc- 
chus to that portion of Wumidia, which was the seat of the wai was 
probably destitute of any valid foundation. 

Missis antea legal is. See Chap. LXXX. 

Omittere — missurum {esse). These infinitives, together with those in tlie 
preceding sentences, refer to verba facit. 

Dein copia facta, i. e. of sending ambassadors. 
cm. Qw(C sihi — venerant. In this, and in some similar passages, two con- 
structions are blended. The writer in presenting his own thoughts 
would have said, Qucb ei — venerant ; in presenting those of Bocchus he 
would have said, Qucb sihi — venissent. He has retained the reflexive 
pronoun with the indicative mood. 

Si placeat, sc. Mario. 

Nonpro vanis hostibus — habuit. In this clause habuit signifies "to reckon 
or consider," in the next clause accurate ac liheraliter habuit, it is made 
by Zeugma to signify " to treat." 

Ut meriti erant. " As they were fit to be treated," i. e. considering their 
appearance, sine decore. 

Nisi pariter volens, sc. putabatiir, " but he was thought equally benevolent.* 

Qucb aut utilia, aut benevolenticc (esse) credebant, $ 227, R. 2, & 3. *' Which

mean time a truce." 

Ea, " these things, these requests." — Plerisque, i. e. the other members of 
the council of war. 

Impetratis omnibus, " having obtained every thing (they asked for.)" 

Mauri — tres — duo. This kind of apposition is common, instead of Man- 
rorum tres, etc. when the word denoting the whole is to be distinguished 
fi-om some other word, as here the Mauri are opposed to the Romans 
previously mentioned. $204, R. 10.

JUGURTHINE WAR. 3l3 

Numerum ampUorem vero, et hostilem metum ejiciehant. In the first clause 
efflcicebant is to be translated, " rendered or caused to appear," in tli« 
second, " caused or occasioned." 

Timor aliquantus, sc. iUlsfuit. — Adversiim eos, since opposed to those. 

Uti erat. The use of the indicative in Latin to denote that which actu- 
ally exists, renders the addition of such words as re vera, " in fact, in 
reality," &c. unnecessary. 
CVI. Volux adveniens. The present participle here as elsewhere denotes aii 
untinished action, " on coming up" 

A patre Boccho. As Sylla was unacquainted with Volux, the latter, in 
introducing himself as the son of Bocchus, very properly places the 
appellative patre before the proper name Boccho, for the purpose of 
pointing out his connexion with him. 

Obviam illis simul, et prcesidio missum. Obviam and prcesidio have each 
the same relation to missu/n, and may therefore be connected by et, 
$278. 

Ulis, for vobis in oratio directa. See Hie in Diet 

Post, " afterwards," i. e. post proximum diem. 

Satis credere. Credere depends on negat, which after a negative is often 
construed with an affirmative clause, " declares that he does not fear," 
&c. " that he has full confidence in the valor of his soldiers," &c. 

Mansurum poiius, quam^parceret. The regular construction would be, 
quam parsurum. When in such cases the subjunctive follows, there 
appears to be an ellipsis as here, quam {id commissurum ut) parceret. 

Quos dacebat. This verb, considered as the language of Sylla in the ora- 
tio obliqna, should be in the subjunctive, $ 266, 3: but here, as in many 
other examples, the writer puts himself in the place of him whose lan- 
guage he is quoting, and believing the truth of what is alleged adopts 
the language as his own. 

Ceterum ab eodem, sc. Voluce. 

Ccenatos essejubet. Jubeo like volo often takes the infinitive of the perfect 
passive to denote an ea^er desire that something should be instantly 
accomplished. See Zumpt Lat. Gr.

Paiicis strenuis — bene pugnatum, § 225, II.

poses of prccmissus are denoted by orator and speculatum, $ 204, 11 1, 
and ^ 276, II, and these are therefore properly connected by et $ 278, as 
they have each the same relation to prccmissus.

Quo res communis licentius gereretur. The true reading is here doubtfuL 
Some suppose that admissurn or accitum is to be supplied, and that quo 
denotes the purpose for which he had been invited by Bocchus, viz. lest 
Jugurtha should suspect the purpose of the conference, if conducted 
without the presence of an agent sent by him. For quo Gronovius pro- 
. poses to read quhu Kritz suggests the supplying of remoto after quo. 
The passage will then signify, that the presence of this agent of Jugur- 
tha at the public audience of Sylla would allay his suspicions, and that 
afterwards their affairs might be discussed more freely in his absence, 
and without his knowledge.

Frustra fuisse. These words constitute the whole predicate. Jugurtha 
alludes to such treaties as that made with Aulus, which was disan- 
nulled by the senate. Chap. XXXIX. 

ConsuLtum el ratam {esse) pacem vellet. Volo often occurs with the per- 
fect infinitive. See Chap. CVI, Cmnatos essejuhei, and note. 

Ujia ab omnibus veniretur, instead of omnes una veiiirentur, $ 184, 2. 

Turn fore uti—fcedusfieret, $ 268, R. 4. 

Neque hominem nobilem — reliclum iri. The construction of the former 
clause would seem to require that this which is connected with it, 
should have been et homo nobilis — non relinqueretur. The author, how- 
ever, has resolved the first infinitive future, {Jactum iri,) into fore with 
the imperfect subjunctive, and left the other unresolved. 

Non sua ignavia sed ob rempublicam in hoslium potestate. This is equiva- 
lent to the relative clause, Qui non sua ignavia sed ob rempublicam in 
hostium potestate esset. The remaining words, 7ieque liominem nobilem 
relictum iri, require, in order to constitute a complete proposition, the 
repetition of the words, in hostium potestate.

Uti dictum erat, i. e. ut constitutum erat. 

Vinctus traditur. Sylla thought so highly of this service done by him to 
the state, as to cause it to be represented on his seal; thereby occa- 
sioning great offence to Marius. 
CXIV. Per idem tempus. The capture of Jugurtha took place in the 
648th year of the city, 106 years before the Christian era, and Caepio 
and Manlius were defeated in the following year

NOTES ON THE CATIUNARIAN CONSPIRACY. 



I. Omnes homines. In most editions of Sallust and occasionally in editiona 
of other Latin works, the accusative plural in is or in eis is found in 
many words of the third declension whose genitive pi. ends in ium ; as, 
here omnis homines, ^ 85, Exc. 1, & $ 114, N. 

Qui sese student prcostare, $ 271, R. 3, last part. Sese student prccstare is 
used rather than student sese prcestarey as a substantive pronoun seldom 
stands at the beginning of a proposition, unless it is intended to be 
emphatic. — Decet, $ 269. — 

Nevitam transeani, $ 273, 1. 

Veluti pecora, $ 278, R. 1. 

Sed nostra. Sed marks a distinction about to be made between our 
powers, {nostra vis), and those of other animals, which are naturally in- 
capable of any thoughts or efforts but such as have relation to the body. 

Omnis vis, " whole powers, entire nature." A part of our natural powers, 
viz. the corporeal, are the same as those of the other animals, but our 
whole nature includes the mental as well as the corporeal powers. 

Animi imperio — uiimur. We make use of the dominion of the mind, i. e. 
from the mind we derive dominion. — Corporis servitio magis utimur. But 
we use rather the servitude of the body, i. e. to the body we are rather 
in ser\4tude. The meaning of the whole is, From the mind we derive 
dominion ; but that which we derive from our corporeal nature is rather 
servitude than dominion. Utimur is connected with servitio by Zeugma. 

Alterum — alterum, the former, i. e. animi imperium, the dominion of the 
mind, — the latter, i. e. corporis servitio, the servitude of the body. 

Quo, " by so much," i. e. by as much as the nature of the gods is superior 
to that of the beasts, $ 256, R. 16. 

Videtur. For the ellipsis of esse with videtur, see note on Posteriores se 
vident, 3. 79.

When, as in this case, the pronoun refers to a sentence as its antece- 
dent, it always agrees with the following noun. 

Possem — ni traheret, $ 261, 1. 

Fuderit — ceperit, $ 265. 

VIII. Sed profecto. Sed is here adversative, and marks the want of corre- 
spondence between the merits and fame of the ancient Romans. 

Quam. For the omission of magis before quam. See Magis in Diet. 

Ego existimo, $ 209, R. 1, 2d clause.

2. So in the next sentence, PrcBclara ingenia. 
Earn, sc. virtutem. The more common reading is ea, sc. facta. 

IX. Igitur domi ; igitur marks a return to the subject of the seventh chap- 
ter. 

Jurgia, discordias, simuUates, these words denote domestic or civil con- 
tentions, and the meaning of the author is, that the malevolent feelings 
often exercised in civil society, were by the ancient Romans, turned 
against the public enemies. 

In amicis jideles. In with the ablative here signifies " in regard to," and 
consequently does not differ essentially from in amicos, "faithful to 
their friends." 

Ubi pax evenerat cequitate. Exact correspondence with the preceding 
clause would have required aquitate in pace. 

Hcec habeo, " these facts" or " circumstances," — viz. those mentioned in 
the subsequent part of the chapter, $ 230, R. 1. 

Quique tardius, $ 256, R. 9, 2d clause. 

Quam qui, i. e. quam in eos qui: quam relates to scspius.

from crevit to patebant inclusive, forming the protasis of the period, 
depend upon ubi ; the apodosis commences at sccvire. In the protasis 
the imperfect is properly connected with the perfect, since the latter is 
used for the pluperfect. 

Reges magni, sc. Syphax, Phillip, Antiochus, Perses, Pyrrhus and Mith-

Alias. These things, which in themselves are good and desirables proved 
at that time a source of evil to the Romans. 

Ea quasi. Ea " these things," " these vices refers to pecunicB cupido, and 
imperii cupido, avarice and ambition. 

Materies omnium malorum, i. e. of all the evils of which the author is 
speaking, — the evils which came upon the Roman empire in conse- 
quence of the. general corruption of manners.

note. Chap. X. 

Sequebatur, $209, R. 9, (2.) 

Innocentia pro malevolentia. Innocentia is here the opposite of avaritia, 
Malevolentia ; i. e. as evidence of malice towards those who had ac- 
quired wealth by their rapacity'.

QucB bellum atque libido victorum fert, — " bring with them." 

FrcBterea esse, $ 270, R. 2, 2d clause. This omission of dico, &c., is most 

common when a verb which may imply it has preceded, as in this place, 

polliceri. 
Petere consulatum C. Antonium. Antonius was indeed elected consul, but 

as colleague of Cicero, and instead of aiding Catiline, he commanded 

the army by which the conspirators were defeated. 
Hominem et familiar em. The poverty as well as profligacy of Antonius 

were such as might have rendered him a fit associate of Catiline. 
Increpat — laudare — admonebat. This historical present is here connected 

with the historical infinitive and with the perfect indefinite.

for the consulship, and against the recurrence of which he had now 
made great preparation. See Chaps. XXIV and XXV. 

fnproximum annum, i. e. A. U. C. 692. 

Pactione provincice. It was customaiy to assign by lot, the province 
which each consul was to govern the year after the expiration of his 
consulship. On this occasion Cisalpine Gaul had fallen to Antonius 
and the rich province of Macedonia to Cicero. The latter, in order to 
secure to the state the fidehty of his colleague, made a voluntary ex- 
change of provinces. 

Dies comitiorum. The day originally appointed for this election was the 
21st of October, but a postponement was afterwards made until the 
28th of the same month. See Cic. in Cat. I. 3. On the day last men- 
tioned D. Julius Silanus and L. Licinius Murena were chosen consuls.

Non dignos homines. He probably refers especially to Cicero, a novus 

homo. 
Pro meo casu, " considering my unfortunate condition." 
Plura quum scriberem. The pretence of personal danger, on account of 
which this letter closes thus abruptly, appears to have been intended by 
Catiline to serve as an apology, for not opening his heart more fully to 
one, in whom he professed to place implicit confidence.

Ea vero ; ea in this passage, though pleonastic in its construction, serves 
to distinguish emphatically the populace of the city from the common 
people of the empire in general, whose disaffection is mentioned at the 
beginning of this chapter. 

PrcEceps ierat, i. e. into the revolutionary designs of Catiline. 

Primum omnium, the principal classes into which the populace of the city 
was divided, and the causes of dissatisfaction in each are mentioned un-

classes by qui ubique, item alii and postremo

Privatis atque publicis largitionibus, a. monthly distribution of corn was 
made to the populace at the public expense, in addition to the largesses 
of wealthy and ambitious citizens. 

Juxia ac, "just as," i. e. " as badly as," " no better than." 

PrcBterea quorum, sc. ii, $ 206, (4). 

Jus lihertatis imminutum. Sylla had ordered that the children of those 
whom he had proscribed, should be held ineligible to oflice, and in this 
respect they were still deprived of the common rights of citizens. 

Aliarum partium erant, $ 211, R. 8, (2.) "who belonged to another party."

ruin of the state.

stricted by L. Sylla, but was restored in the consulship of Pompicy and 
Crassus, A. U. C. 684.

XXXIX. Bellum mariiimum, this war, called also helium piraticum, was 

carried on by Pompey, A. U. C, 687, against the Cilicians, who had 

filled every sea with piratical vessels, and had even plundered some of 

the Italian cities. In forty days the war was brought to a successful 

termination. In consequence of this eminent success, Pompey was 

appointed to the command of the war against JNIithridates.

Majores opes, "greater power and influence," to be enjoyed by the 
ambassadors, as a reward from the Romans for betraying the con

Certa prccmia. Specific rewards had been offered by the senate to any one 
who would give information respecting the conspiracy (see Chap. XXX,) 
but these are probably not referred to in this place. 

Cujus patrocinio. Most nations subject to the Romans had some one 
among the senators who took the oversight of their affairs, and whom 
theyxalled their patron. This patronage was hereditary.

ment of this temple the conspirators seem to have been detained, until 
they were introduced into the senate. 

Magna frequentia, $257, R. 7. 

Volturcium cum legatis. Cum in this place does not imply any very close 
connection of time, as it appears from Cicero, {Or. in Cat. Ill, 4,) that 
Volturcius was introduced apart from the Gauls. It is equivalent to et. 
XLVII. Quid, aut qua de causa, consilii hahuisset, " what design he had 
entertained, or for what reason he had entertained it." 

Fingere alia, i. e. other than what pertained to the conspiracy. 

Nihil amplius scire quam legatos. This expression is thought by some to 
be ambiguous. Its more obvious meaning is that " he knew nothing 
more than the ambassadors knew." Kritz and Herzog however inter- 
pret it to mean that " he knew nothing more than," or taking nihil for 
neminem that " he knew none besides the ambassadors :" i. e. none of 
the conspirators besides. If we translate docet, " he shows," the com- 
mon translation may perhaps be sustained, for it is obvious from Chap. 
XLVIII, that he disclosed many things relating to the conspiracy, 
though most of them may have been known to the ambassadors also.

NOTES ON THE 



XLIX. Sed iisdem temporibus. In what follows, Sallust appears to aim at 
defending Cicero from the charge brought against him by Crassus; but 
in doing this he brings a very improbable charge against Catulus and 
Piso, for the purpose of screening from censure Caesar, his personal 
friend. 

Nam uterque exercehant, $ 209, R. 1 1. (4.) 

Piso oppugnatus injudicio, etc. sc. inindcitiam exercehat, Oppitgnatus sc, 
a Casare. 

Propter cujusdam Transpadani supplicium. These words are to be con- 
nected to oppugnatus, not to pecuniarum repetundarum. In a prosecu- 
tion against Piso for extortion CaBsar made an attack upon him for 
unjustly punishing a certain individual. 

Pontificatus, sc. maximi. 

Ah adolescentulo CcBsare. Caesar, though at this time thirty-six years old, 
is called adolecentulus in reference to the more advanced age of Catulus. 

Opporiuna videhatur, i. e. for Caesar, on account of the magnitude of his 
debts, and this consideration caused the accusation to be more readily 
believed. 

Privatim—puUice. These adverbs belong not to debehaU but to liberali- 
tate and muneribus. 

QucB se — audisse dicerenU instead oiqucB audissent ut dicehant, $266, 3, 3d 
clause. 

Qud studium suutRj etc. These words relate to Ccesari gladio minita'

L. Qui in custodiam tradiii erantf $ 266, 2, R, 5. 

Primus senientiam rogatus, $ 205, R. 17. 

Senientiam Tiberii Neronis. Tiberius Nero had proposed that the con- 
spirators then in custody should be strictly guarded, until Catiline and 
his army were vanquished, and that the whole subject should then be 
referred to the senate. 

Hujuscemodi verba. From the use of this expression, in relation to the 
speeches of Caesar and Cato, it is evident that we have their sentiments 
only, and not their language. 
'LI. Hand facile, etc. This sentence contains the reason of the preceding 
but the causal particle nam or enim is here as in many other places 
omitted. 

Valet, sc. animus. 

Male consuluere, sc. sibi ac reipubliccB, i. e. ** pursued an injudicious course, 
adopted wror^uneasures." 

Populi RoTuani^^bis creverat. The Rhodians had received from the 
Romans, inflRmpense for services rendered the latter in the war 
against Antioc^s, a large part of I-ycia and Caria. 

Impunitos eos dimisere. The Rhodians were however deprived of the 
provinces previously bestowed upon them. 

Quid in illis, — " in their case," " in respect to them." 

Novum consilium. The new measure here alluded to, was the punish- 
ment of a Roman citizen with death, as proposed by Silanus.

unwise. Tempus, dies, $ 324, 22. 

Quid in alios siatuatis, i. e. other than these conspirators. 

Ex bonis, sc. exemplis. — Ab dignis, sc. poena. 

Devictis Atheniensibus iriginta viros imposuere, $ 224. 

Invidere bonis. According to Cortius and Kritz, institutis is to be sup- 
phed; according to Gerlach and Herzog, kuminibus. With the latter 
boni will signify those excelling in knowledge of any kind. Invidere 
which leqmres a dative is here connected with imitari requiring an ac- 
cusative. In such a connection the noun or pronoun is in general 
repeated in that case which each verb requires.

the sake of perspicuity, and sometimes for empha^. 

In primis magna, $ 127, 2d paragraph. 

Qui ea bene parta. The reader might expect, instead of ea, .ri referring to 
imperium. Sallust has made use of the plural " these things," to de- 
note separately what was previously expressed collectively by imperium, 

Publicandas eorum pecunias, — neu quis referat, a double construction fol-

Alius alii varie assentiehantur, i. e. they signified their agreement in sen- 
timent with Silanus, Nero or Caesar. Verbo assentiehantur. The opin- 
ion of the senators was given either viv& voce or by a division, {disces- 
sione.) Sallust has omitted all notice of the speeches of Catulus and 
CicerO; delivered on this occasion. 

Uli mild disseruisse videntur. Cato states the real question to be, not 
what punishment is suitable for the conspirators, but what means shall 
be resorted to, to prevent the success of their conspiracy. 

Persequare, $ 209, R. 7. 

Si ista cujuscumque modi sunt. The severity of Cato*s manners led him 
to speak contemptuously of the luxuries prized so highly by many of 
his hearers.

Hicy " here," i. e. " in this state of things," " such being the facts." 

Hie mild quisquam. Reference is here very evidently made to Caesar, but 
the reference is the more severe from the use of the indefinite pronoun 
quisquam, " some one." Miiller reads it interrogatively, " does any one ?" 

Malarum rerum audacia, $ 211, R. 12. 

Sint sane, $ 209, R. 2, (2), & $ 260, R. 6. 

Misericordes infuribus. In this sense of in, it is commonly followed by 
the accusative, but see Chap. LI, quid in illis, and In in Diet. 

Perditum eant, $ 276, II, R. 2. 

Diver so itinere malos, &c., i. e. existimans falsum esse diverse itinere malos 
a bonis, etc. — " that the wicked, their rout being different from (that of)

supplied, $ 207, 22.
